ELIZABETHTOWN

A Ridgestone Drive man was critically injured Sunday after his riding lawn mower flipped over onto him.

The man was cutting grass on a steep hill about 4 or 5 p.m. when he lost control of the zero-turn mower and went down the grade into a sinkhole, Elizabethtown Fire Chief Mike Hulsey said.

The man, whose name the fire department did not release, was flown to University of Louisville Hospital in critical condition after being rescued by medical workers and firefighters, authorities said.
