An 18-year-old man from the Codroy Valley area of Newfoundland is in critical condition after a collision involving a dirt bike and a pick-up truck.

The man was driving the dirt bike when it collided with the truck.

The occupants of the truck were not injured.

Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.

Darn pickups don't have any business on our ATV trails! The crash did happen on a trail right?
