A 94-year-old Ralston man is in a Tulsa hospital after getting pinned under a tractor Sunday afternoon.

Fairfax firefighters were called to help move the tractor and free Trinkle. He was flown by medical helicopter from Fairfax to Tulsa where he is said to be stable with leg, head and arm injuries.
The accident occurred on rural property in northern Pawnee County.
