WZQZ reported last week about a person at Cloudland who was on a lawnmower when they were struck by an oncoming vehicle.  Sheriff Mark Schrader told WZQZ News that the person on the lawnmower was airlifted to Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga after the accident which happened around 10 AM last Thursday.

The victim was identified as seventeen-year-old Robert Westbrook.  The accident happened when Westbrook was attempting to cross Highway 157 on the lawnmower.  The mower was struck by a Honda Accord and ejected Westbrook from the mower.

Sheriff Schrader says that Westbrook’s condition is improving.  After several days in intensive care at Erlanger, he was moved to a regular room earlier this week.
