Farm tractor rolls over injuring 19 year old driver in Jo Daviess County

A 19 year old suffered injuries after a farm tractor rolled on top of him on Monday.

The Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office says just after 10:15 Monday morning, deputies responded to a report of a farm tractor rolling over in a cornfield and trapping the driver.

Once on the scene, deputies say they found a 2001 AGCO Terra-Gator that had overturned after one of the tires dropped into a hole, causing the machine to roll on its side. Elizabeth firefighters extricated the man from the tractor. Elizabeth EMS transported him to a landing zone where he was then flown in a helicopter to OSF Rockford for injuries.

The accident is under investigation.
