On my way home today, I passed my new neighbors down the road and noticed his 8N Ford UPSIDE DOWN in his driveway. I quickly backed up to see if someone was trapped underneath...and then I saw him walk around the side of his truck. I pulled in the drive to introduce myself and to tell him I was not a nosey neighbor...but just wanted to make sure he was not still underneath the tractor. He was trying to drive the tractor up the ramps of his tractor-trailer lo-boy and they were too steep and the tractor went over backwards. He said it threw him off the back of the seat to the ground and he immediately tried to roll out of the way of the tractor. He almost made it...but his shoulder was temporarily pinned under the fender...but he was able to get free. He was covered in mud and his shoulder was pretty badly scrapped up. He said he was really sore as well...and it had only been about 20 minutes since the accident. I recommended that he go to the hospital and get checked out...just to be on the safe side. Sorry, no pics. That is one lucky guy...a good reminder to take it slow and keep safety in mind. Bad things can happen real fast. Tim
