One person was seriously injured in a lawn mower accident in Jones County.

Glade Volunteer Fire Department responded to 1882 Highway 15 South this afternoon at 2:57 p.m. for the report of a fire.

When they arrived, firefighters found one person had been seriously injured after a rollover on a zero-turn riding lawn mower.

During the rollover, the lawn mower lost some of its gasoline and caused a nearby brush fire. Firefighters worked to provide emergency care as well as extinguish the flames.

Rescue 7 transported the victim to a specialty center for emergency medical care.

Emserv Ambulance Service, MHP and JCSO also responded to the incident. MHP shut down Highway 15 for a short time while firefighters created a landing zone so that Rescue 7 could land alongside the highway.
