A farming accident injures a man in Buffalo County.
On September 5th the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office received an emergency call of a UTV crash located on private property off of County Road U in the Town of Montana. 59 year old George Salwey was reportedly wedged within a Kubota UTV after striking a large whole in a farm pasture.
