A Knox County teenager is in the hospital after a sledding accident.

The 14 year old was sledding at a neighbor's house on Kanuga Drive, around 5:45 Friday evening, according to Knox County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Martha Dooley.

The boy was sledding on a trash bag in the driveway when he slid into the road, and into the path of a 1999 Toyota Tacoma truck. Investigators say the street was a solid sheet of ice at the time. The driver tried to stop, but couldn't. The teen was dragged for a short distance by the truck.

The teen was taken to UT Medical Center for treatment. There is no word on his condition. The driver will not face any charges.
