Authorities in western Wisconsin are investigating a crash that injured a 10-year-old boy driving a go-kart Saturday evening.

Both the 74-year-old man and the 10-year-old boy suffered undetermined injuries and were transported by EMS to River Falls Area Hospital and Mayo Clinic Health System in Red Wing, Minnesota, respectively.
