Tractor Runs Over Bell Buckle Farmer

June 30, 2008

Around 11:18 Monday morning (6/30/08) the Rutherford County Sheriffs Office received a 911 call from a Bell Buckle resident. Initial reports told of a farmer being run over by a tractor. As first responders arrived on Short Creek Loop, they found 57-year old John Wade Argo with serious injuries. However, he was described as awake but disoriented. Since the terrain where the accident occurred was so rough, it took paramedics some time to stabilize the Argo and then get him to the helicopter. Shortly before noon, Life Flight lifted off to took him to the Trauma Center at Vanderbilt Hospital. John Wade Argo is in stable condition at the Vanderbilt Medical Center.
