Henry County, MO — A man was hospitalized following an accident involving a tractor in Henry County, Missouri, on Wednesday, April 1, 2015. The accident took place on Route Z, just west of Route BB.
Local reports say that a Chevrolet Cruze being driven by Keith Franklin was traveling along Route Z when it rear-ended a John Deere tractor being driven by Casey Higgins. The collision ejected the driver onto the road and sent the tractor zig-zagging across the road, where it hit two bard-wire fences, a mailbox and a tree before it finally overturned in a ditch.
Emergency workers transported Higgins to Research Medical Hospital in Kansas City. It’s not clear if Franklin was injured in the accident.
The accident is still being investigated.
