TOPSFIELD, MASS. (WHDH) - A worker is suffering from life-threatening injuries after being run over by a tractor at a Topsfield Fair parking lot Thursday afternoon, police say.
Northshore Regional Emergency Communications Center received a call around 3:30 p.m. that a person was run over by a tractor at the Fairview Sattelite Parking Lot on Boston Street where workers were cutting hay in preparation for the Topsfield Fair beginning next week.
The worker was rushed to Brigham & Women’s Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Topsfield Fire Chief Jen Collins-Brown said, “The hay was going through a bailer, had been raked, they have to make sure it lands the right way on the trailer, so there’s a lot of moving parts. They estimate he was pinned under the wheel for about 30 to 45 seconds, so they were trying to figure out the best way to get it off him the best way they could”
The incident remains under investigation by Topsfield Police Department, Topsfield Fire Department and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
No additional information has been released.
