A teenager is recovering at a Wichita hospital from injuries  following a weekend accident.

The Reno County Sheriff’s Office says three teens were in a field, using a skid steer to do fence work a half-mile west of Langdon Road on Parallel Road.

Sixteen year old Kolton Kincaid was one two teens riding on the stump remover and became pinned when his shoulder got caught on the roof of the skid steer and it began to compress him.

The driver quickly lowered the arms, but Kincaid was unable to move once the arms were down.

Kincaid reported not having any sensation from the waist down and having a hard time breathing, when he was transported to by Lifeteam helicopter to Wesley Medical Center

The accident is still under investigation.
