ACWORTH - A 16-year-old Acworth boy is being treated for serious head injuries sustained when he fell from the back of a pickup truck. <br>

A spokeswoman for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department says Chase Brown fell from the truck about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday on his way home from school. Witnesses told police the truck was speeding through a subdivision in southwest Cherokee County. <br>

Brown was riding in the back of a pickup truck with another person -- a 17-year-old -- when the 19-year-old driver, Christopher Minor, turned a corner. Authorities say Brown was the only one injured. <br>

Brown fell out of the pickup and struck his head on the ground. He was flown to North Fulton Regional Hospital. <br>

It's unclear whether the driver will be charged.
