HILLSBORO, Mo. (AP) - A 5-year-old eastern Missouri girl is dead after an all-terrain vehicle accident.

Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer says a 15-year-old was driving the ATV with a 5-year-old on board Thursday afternoon. It struck a tree and the younger child was thrown from the vehicle. Her name was not released.

The 15-year-old is hospitalized but her condition was not available. Authorities did not specify the relationship between the two girls.
