PARSONS — A Missouri boy sustained critical injuries when thrown from a four-wheel, all-terrain vehicle in rural Labette County on Monday evening.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Isaac McDermott, age 10, of Bronaugh, Mo., was taken to Children’s Mercy Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo., after the ATV he was riding crashed into pothole in a field on 22000 Road, four miles southeast of Parsons, on Monday evening. The all-terrain vehicle was piloted by David Wayne Barger, age 27, of Paola, Kan. Barger was not injured in the mishap.
The ATV was traveling at about 30 miles per hour when it hit the pothole, the Kansas Highway Patrol report said.

The Parsons Police Department is investigating the death of an infant Wednesday morning at 1521 S. 25th Street. Police and emergency crews were dispatched at 11:24 a.m. to a report of a 3-month-old boy who was not breathing. The infant, identified as Dominic D. Mosely, Jr., was later pronounced dead at Labette Health.

Officers are currently investigating, and an autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death. Parsons Police Chief, John Keele, said that the investigation is a routine matter when a child dies.
