OLIVER TOWNSHIP (AP) — Authorities say an 83-year-old man who was pinned for 28 hours under a wheel of a tractor was rescued after being found by his grandson.
The Huron County sheriff's office says Edward Schember started the tractor on the afternoon of Oct. 23 at a barn in Oliver Township and the tractor was already in reverse, so it backed toward him. One of the wheels ended up on his right leg, pinning him.
The tractor eventually stalled. Schember was found late the next day after worried family members had Schember's grandson, Nicholas Schember, check on him.
Fire crews responded to the barn about 100 miles north of Detroit and freed him.
Sheriff Kelly Hanson says he's hospitalized in intensive care and recovering following surgery.
