GOLD BAR — A man was injured Tuesday afternoon when a tractor he was using rolled back on top of him.

The 65-year-old man apparently was using the tractor to remove a tree stump on his property, said Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover.

He was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where his condition was not known, she said.

The accident happened about 2 p.m. in the 41100 block of Dorman Road in Gold Bar, Hover said. The sheriff’s office is investigating the incident, she said.
