A farm tractor tipped over and rolled down a steep hillside on Spring Run about 4 p.m. yesterday injuring the driver.
Matt Ashley, described in his 40s, was seriously injured when he was thrown from the implement, which was reportedly being used to brush-hog the hillside.
Ashley was life-flighted by Health Net from Arnoldsburg, where he was taken by Calhoun EMS.
He reportedly was suffering from a head and leg injury.
Ashley was a four-time state high school wrestling champion at Spencer.
He was the wrestling coach at Wirt County High School for a while and a
volunteer assistant coach at Calhoun High School.
His son Justin was a
three-time state champ at Calhoun.
The tractor appeared to have lost a tire on the hillside, and the tractor landed in Spring Run.
Ashley, who is well-known in the county as a horseman, was performing work on another farm.
Spring Run is a tributary off U. S. 33-119 in Arnoldsburg.
The Arnoldsburg VFD also responded to the emergency call. |
