MONROE - On Wednesday, June 12:
• A 14-year-old boy was uninjured in a tractor accident reported at 10:48 a.m. in Jordan Township. The boy was operating a 2006 New Holland T6050 tractor northbound in the N3500 block of Hiawatha Road, pulling about 15 tons of silage in a chopper box, when the chopper box began to fishtail for more than 550 feet before veering off the west side of the road. The tractor and chopper box then went down a steep embankment, causing the chopper box to overturn onto its side. The tractor did not overturn. The boy was wearing a seatbelt. The chopper box was severely damaged, and the tractor sustained minor damage. Both were towed from the scene.
