Man injured when pinned under house trailer in Todd County

A man was flown to a Nashville hospital Saturday morning after a house trailer slipped off a jack and onto him on Hermon Road in Todd County.

Emergency Management Director Daniel Smith says dispatch received the call that the man was trapped under the house trailer about 11 a.m. and family members and bystanders had lifted the trailer off of the victim before EMS and other first responders arrived.

The man was awake and talking, but he was flown by Air Evac to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville for a collapsed lung and other injuries. He was reportedly in stable condition and breathing on his own Saturday night.

Another man at the scene was complaining of chest pains and he was taken by EMS to a local hospital, where he was treated and released.

The Todd County Rescue Squad and Guthrie Volunteer Fire Department assisted at the scene.
