The call about the accident near 60686 620th (Olive St.), came in at around 4:12-p.m. Law enforcement on the scene reported a man (identified as Ben Nevins) was partially trapped under the fender of the tractor, but was conscious and breathing. He was able to free one of his legs by the time authorities arrived.

Authorities said Nevins had been mowing a lawn using a medium-size tractor equipped with a belly mower. When the tractor entered a ditch, it rolled onto its side.  As it began to roll, Nevins tried to jump clear, but the tractor rolled onto his leg just above the ankle. He was transported by Medivac Ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital to be checked for injuries and treatment, as necessary.

According to reports, personnel from a tiling company working nearby, used their backhoe to lift the tractor off of Nevins.
