CTV News has learned that air ambulance Ornge transferred the 16-year-old boy to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto in serious, but non-life-threatening condition.
Provincial police say investigators believe the ATV was crossing Baseline Road when it was struck by a northbound vehicle.
Police are investigating whether the teen was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision.
"Off-road vehicles present their own challenges, and one of the biggest points we are seeing right now is that operators without a helmet - if they are involved in any type of incident, if they are struck by another vehicle, could be a car, could be another ATV - are suffering serious injuries," said OPP Const. David Hobson.
Officials say all other parties involved were assessed at the scene, and no one else required medical treatment.
Police closed Baseline Road between Concession Road 4 and Downers Road for several hours for the investigation.
