Farm Accident Survivor Recovers After Tractor Crush
Hiersche was hit by a tractor, flown by helicopter to the University of Kansas hospital, and spent days between wakeful moments. She suffered three broken ribs, two shoulder blade fractures, and a vertebra injury with significant muscle loss from a forearm laceration. Now home, she faces about six weeks of recovery with hope to resume barn work once healed. Her friend Connor Whitebread described her as positive throughout. She had been training for military service before the crash and will pause that plan until fully recovered.
