(KAIR)--A man required helicopter transport following a Sunday tractor-related accident in Atchison County.

According to Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter, Atchison County EMS and Atchison County Rescue were called to the area of 306th and Sedgwick Roads shortly before 11:00 Sunday night. It was in that location that the tractor accident had occurred earlier in the day, around 2:30 in the afternoon, when the man flipped the tractor and was pinned beneath it. Lanter said the man had been trapped from the time of the afternoon accident until the time he was found and emergency crews called.

According to Lanter, Atchison County Rescue stabilized the tractor and extricated the man, who was then treated by Atchison County EMS, who transported him to a field, just north of Atchison on Sedgwick Road, that served as a landing zone for the medical helicopter that transported him to the University of Kansas Hospital Trauma Center.

The man’s name has not been made public.
