The accident occurred around 2:15 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 21, Blairstown Police Chief Scott Johnsen told DailyVoice.com.

The victim, a landscaper working on repaving the runway, was run over on his chest area by one of the tires of a Bobcat UTV equipped with a front-end loader.

The man was airlifted to Morristown Medical Center for treatment of unspecified injuries. An update on his condition was not immediately available.

A language barrier also made it hard to get information at the scene, Johnsen said.

Assisting agencies include Blairstown Ambulance Corp. and Blairstown Hose Company #1.
