A man in Trafalgar experienced a harrowing ordeal when he became trapped under a lawn mower for an extended time in a ravine. Firefighters from Johnson County came to his aid on Tuesday evening, according to a report by WISH-TV. The Trafalgar Fire Department's rescue happened around 7:15 p.m. at the 8000 block of Shoreview Drive in the Lamb Lake area, following a call about an injured person with entrapment. The department's arrival revealed the male trapped and that he communicated to firefighters he had been stuck for nearly an hour.
Trafalgar Fire Department's personnel managed to extract the mower off the male victim and transported him to a hospital where he was considered to be in stable condition. Details surrounding the lawnmower's descent into the ravine have not been disclosed, nor was the amount of time it took for the rescue operation's completion. The alert and conscious nature of the man during the incident might be owed to Trafalgar PD, which assisted firefighters in lifting the mower, as stated on Trafalgar Fire Department’s Facebook page.
Further reports from WTHR indicate the man, after being freed, was taken to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for examination. Having been described as stable upon his transport.
