IDAHO FALLS — A woman was rushed to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center after being pinned under a tractor for two hours Wednesday afternoon.

The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office and Idaho Falls Fire Department were called to a report of a traumatic injury on private property near the intersection of Sunnyside Road and Woodruff Avenue around 4 p.m.

A woman in her 60s was pinned under the tractor and could not move. Rescue crews were told she had been there since around 2 p.m.
