Cherokee County Sheriff Roger Garrison told Channel 2 News that the boy is hospitalized with serious head injuries after his sled crashed into a parked car.
He reminds parents that while sledding is fun, it can turn dangerous if kids aren't careful.

The accident happened on Woodview Lane in the Woodstock area.
