The driver of an all-terrain vehicle broke his collarbone and killed a dog Saturday night while riding illegally on a bike path through Tibbetts Brook Park, police said.

The driver, who was taken to the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, will be issued summonses along with another ATV driver who was riding with him in the dark, county police said.

A woman was walking her two dogs along the path when one of the ATVs struck one of the animals at about 6:30 p.m., police said. The driver, who was thrown from the vehicle, was taken away by ambulance.

Police said there is signage in the park banning  ATVs.

“During the past decade, I have personally had six out of seven elk hunts ruined by the careless intrusions of ATV operators. This epidemic has forced me to abandon one prime hunting area after another, only to encounter the same situation elsewhere. The shameful part of this picture is that the overwhelming majority of these ATV’ers are young and healthy, not decrepit or physically challenged. Maybe these riders would be more respectful of other people's outdoor experience if they knew we could ID them."
