Stole this off the WOOD TV (Grand Rapids, MI) website - this is the report they aired on the evening news: (Lowell Township, July 6, 2005, 3:24 p.m.) A 44-year-old Lowell man was injured after the tractor he was riding on flipped over and landed on top of him. Police say Charles Brinkert was using a 1940s tractor to pull a stump out of the ground near his home on Alden Nast in Lowell Township on Tuesday. That's when the machine flipped over backwards and landed on top of him, impaling his lower body. As the tractor was flipping over, it hit a 100-year-old brick outhouse and got stuck, which prevented Brinkert from being crushed. Brinkert was trapped for two-and-a-half hours. He was then airlifted to a hospital where he is listed in fair condition. NUFF SAID?
