My nieces father inlaw was run over yesterday by his tractor in a freak accident. He's farmed for years, in his mid 60's. He had his head and left side run over after falling off his Massey 285. We got a call yesterday afternoon saying that he was just airlifted to the hospital after his tractor was found running in circles and his head had been run over by the tractor. Turned out he had been climbing off the tractor when his overalls pant leg hooked the shifter somehow, tripping him and putting the tractor into gear as he fell in front of the rear wheel. The tractor had winter chains on the rear wheels and as he fell the rear wheel went over his head and left side. I found out today that he was airlifted right from the sene to a hospital in the Twin Cities. Had several broken ribs and 68 stitches, may loose an eye, internal bleeding and is not out of danger yet. Thank goodness it wasn't his IHC 806 tractor. Just saw him at Christmas, it can just happen so quick.
