(KAIR)--The mechanical malfunction of a tractor led to hospitalized treatment for an Atchison County resident.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a news release, said deputies responded to 258th Road, east of U.S. Highway 73, shortly after 11:30 Sunday morning.
When they arrived, they found that John Oliver had been injured after jumping from his tractor.
Oliver told the investigators he was driving the tractor westbound on 258th Road when he lost control of the steering. At that point, the steering was reported as having pulled out of the tractor, which caused Oliver to jump instead of crashing into a tree.
He was transported for hospitalized care after complaining of rib injuries.
