N C 28782 15-Year-Old O.K. After Tractor Rolls Nathan Jackson, 15, of Holbert’s Cove Road, spent about an hour Monday afternoon pinned underneath the tractor he was driving. But after he was extricated by the Polk County Emergency Medical Services crew, and was airlifted to Mission Memorial Hospital, he was found to have no serious injuries. EMS Director Lisa Wilson said the dispatcher received a call about the accident at 3:52 p.m. A crew was on the scene ten minutes later, at which time Jackson had reportedly been pinned for a half an hour. Wilson said the tractor was on a hillside and apparently slid down the hill and then rolled over and up against some trees. Jackson was pinned from the pelvis down, although the entire weight of the tractor was not on him. but was partially borne by the tree. The EMS crew was concerned about internal and spinal injuries, because the boy told them he could not feel his feet. But doctors at Mission Memorial found only bruises and contusions, Wilson said. Jackson was freed by 4:34 and was transported to Stearns School where the Mission Air Medical Ambulance helicopter was waiting.
