A man was trapped under his ATV for about an hour Thursday night after plunging into a ravine in Walnut Hill.

The incident happened about 9:10 p.m. just south of the intersection of South Highway 99 and Tungoil Road. The 69-year old man was riding the ATV while legally hunting deer with a depredation permit.

Once rescued from the ravine, the man refused medical treatment and refused transport to the hospital. Authorities said he appeared to be suffering only very minor injuries.
