LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- A Saturday afternoon mowing project turned tense when a riding lawn mower overturned throwing its driver. The mowing was taking place on the steep grassy hill between ProFix Auto Repair and PCUD, Cherry Street at Jacksboro Pike.
The woman operating the tractor ended up against a concrete support wall and co-workers were able to hold the John Deere 350 off of her until help arrived, according to one official.
"It's a pretty good size mower," said La Follette Fire Department Captain Brad Young.
LFD's "C" Shift responded just after 3pm Saturday. Campbell EMS transported the patient to a Knoxville hospital. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-06/06/2026-5PM-PHOTO COURTESY OF LFD CHIEF JIMMY PACK)
