Keith Kouba, 53, and his son Ryan Kouba, 26, were found hurt about a half mile east of Frisco Road between NW 10 and NW 23, the dispatcher said.

The men were riding on land owned by Keith Kouba when it went over a ridge and flipped end over end. They were not wearing helmets or seat belts, Yukon Police Chief Gary L. Wieczorek said.

Wieczorek said he did not know who was driving the vehicle.

A helicopter took Keith Kouba to OU Medical Center, said Klare Ly, Yukon police spokeswoman, while Ryan Kouba went in an ambulance to the hospital. Both were in good condition about noon today, a hospital spokeswoman said.
