Authorities say a Cavalier man sustained severe injuries shortly before noon today (Tue), when he was pinned under a riding lawnmower in Pembina County.
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, 62-year-old Mark Sagert was mowing a ditch off State Highway 66 about five miles west of Crystal (ND).
Troopers say Sagert was maneuvering the mower over the top of a culvert opening, when the mower started to slide, then rolled over, pinning Sagert.
A coworker and some Good Samaritans were able to get the mower off of Sagert, who was taken by ambulance to a Park River hospital and later moved to Altru in Grand Forks.
The crash is still under investigation.
