The call originated when local pilot Chris Janes spotted the accident as he was flying into the Columbia - Adair County airport. The farm adjoins the airport property.
Upon Deputy McCarol’s arrival along with other first responders it was found that Kenneth Scott, 90, of Columbia was deceased from injuries he sustained.
Preliminary investigation reveals that Mr. Scott was spraying fence roles in a 1000 Polaris Ranger (UTV) on his farm. The ranger turned over and it came to rest on its side , pinning Scott underneath.
Deputy Tracy McCarol was assisted on scene by Coroner Todd Akin, Columbia Police Officers, EMS , and Breeding Fire Department.
We wish to extends our prayers to the family of Mr. Scott.
