Still in hospital

The 60-year-old man injured when his own tractor ran over him is still in Dunedin Hospital.

He was still in a surgical ward yesterday afternoon, a week after he was admitted to the hospital last Tuesday evening with serious head and chest injuries.

Last week, Senior Sergeant Ian Temple said it appeared the man had been undertaking repairs on the tractor at the time and may have been on a slope.

The incident occurred on a vineyard in the Hillview Rd area, near Alexandra.

He was taken to Dunedin Hospital by helicopter.

WorkSafe is investigating.
