Local man dies from injuries in tractor accident

Last night at approximately 9 PM I was called to the Bates County Memorial Hospital Emergency Department. BCMH EMS had responded to a rural Amsterdam address earlier in the evening on a report of injuries to a person in a farming accident.

The decedent is identified as Phillip Armentrout, 71 of Amsterdam. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
