HORSHAM, Pa. (WPVI) -- An adult and a child are injured after their ATV crashed into a house in Horsham, Montgomery County.

The incident was reported on the 600 block of Winding Road just before 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Police tell Action News a 54-year-old male and a 4-year-old boy were riding the ATV in their backyard when they lost control and struck the house.

On Thursday, a 38-year-old ATV rider died after he crashed in Tacony.

And nearly two weeks ago, a 19-year-old man on a mini dirt bike was killed when he slammed into an SUV.
