According to Pulaski County Sheriff Greg Speck, a tractor accident resulted in the injury of a Pulaski County man on Monday, October 2, 2017.

At approximately 6 PM on Monday, Trooper Adam Childers of the Kentucky State Police was called to 658 Highway 1674 to conduct a welfare check of a farmer whose mother reported that he had failed to return home after leaving the house earlier in the day on a tractor.

Trooper Childers and Deputy Bruce Blevins found Roland Price Jr., age 62 in a creek bed with severe head injuries.  Deputy Blevins determined that Mr. Price apparently lost control of the tractor and was ejected from the tractor and landed in the creek bed causing significant head trauma.

Mr. Price was treated at the scene by Pulaski County EMS personnel and was airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center by Air Methods.

Deputy Blevins and Trooper Childers were assisted at the scene by members of the Somerset Fire Department.
