“The good Lord must have been looking out for him.” Those were the words of Sheriff Jason Sandholdt after an accident in rural Pleasantville Tuesday afternoon sent a 76 year old man to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines via helicopter. According to Sandholdt, the man was moving brush in a tractor with a front end loader when the tractor tipped on an embankment, rolling over and injuring him. Pleasantville Emergency Services and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene. Sandholdt says the incident could well have proven fatal, given the steepness of the incline, the weight of the tractor, and the remoteness of the location.
