The man was operating a utility vehicle to move debris in Chesterfield Township when the vehicle went down an embankment and overturned, landing on top of him, according to authorities. Firefighters found him pinned beneath the vehicle and used specialized airbags to lift it off him so crews could pull him free.

Seth Tomb, who witnessed the emergency response, described a heavy presence of first responders. "After six police cars showed up, there were two fire trucks, an ambulance, another fire truck and another ambulance," Tomb said.

The man was taken to a waiting medical helicopter and flown to a hospital with serious injuries.

The accident occurred two days after an EF-1 tornado tore through the community on Thursday, carrying winds of up to 100 mph and leaving damaged properties and toppled trees in its wake.

Despite the destruction, residents have organized to help one another recover. Outside the home of Cheryl Jones' parents, a retired farmer was among those clearing fallen trees from the property.

"That's what Chesterfield is all about, the community," Jones said.

Nearby, Homebody Farm also sustained significant damage. Co-owner Liam Duffy said the storm lifted a shed off the property, damaged a greenhouse and tore down fences.

"This is where our shed was. It got lifted up directly this way," Duffy said.

Duffy said he has been overwhelmed by the generosity of neighbors and community members offering assistance. "We've gotten dozens of donations, people helping us out with takeout, with home-cooked meals and people have volunteered to sign up, have signed up to volunteer for our clean up days this coming week and weekend," he said.

The outpouring of support comes as the serious accident serves as a reminder of the dangers that can remain even after a storm has passed.
