IN TRACTOR ACCIDENT
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Cecil Ansley, resident of the Twin Lakes section of the county, received a broken left leg in a tractor accident at his farm on Saturday afternoon. He is now in the Hernando County Hospital and will be confined to the institution for some time, it is understood.
The accident occurred as Mr. Ansley was driving a tractor on his farm in the southeast section of the county. He left the motor of the vehicle running as he jumped off to pull a large root out of the way, and as he did so, the tractor moved forward and passed over his leg. The injury was not as bad as it could have been due to the fact that Mr. Ansley was wearing high-topped boots at the time of the accident.
