The Cowley County Sheriff’s Office has released more information concerning a woman who was critically injured over the weekend east of Atlanta.
According to the news release, Atlanta Fire, Burden Fire and Winfield EMS were dispatched to the 4000 block of 307th Road for the report of a female trapped under a tractor. When first responders arrived, the female had been freed from under a large mower and CPR was started.
The female, later identified as 59 year-old Virginia Emmons — also known as Virgie — was transported to Wesley Hospital in Wichita, by Eagle Med.
The investigation has so far revealed that the mower had become stuck in the mud and another individual used a truck with a chain to pull the mower out. At some point the mower flipped and Emmons became pinned under it.
At this point the case is still under investigation.
