An ATV rider who was missing about two days was found unharmed by emergency responders Wednesday, authorities reported.

Bradley-Prosperity Fire Chief Bruce James said the 33-year-old man left his home aboard an ATV Monday and the man’s mother was concerned. Firefighters found him after about an hour to an hour-and-a-half search through wooded areas of Lanark.

James said another ATV rider found the missing man and called 911.

The man apparently stayed at a friend’s house while away, James said. He was taken back to his mother’s house.
