Cowley Co. man dies from combine injuries

A rural Arkansas City farmer ? who was injured in a combine accident one week ago ? has died, according to a friend of the family.

Dale Bradley, 47, was critically injured Oct. 5 when he fell from the ladder of a combine near Silverdale township. Emergency crews treated Bradley for massive head injuries that occurred when the rear wheel of the combine ran over him.

He was taken immediately to Wesley Medical Center where he stayed until his death. A family friend told a KSOK radio reporter that Bradley was removed from life support Thursday. Dale Bradley and his wife, Linda, are well known in the area.
