We’re told an 84-year-old Gowen man in a 2017 Cadillac traveled east from 28th Avenue when he left the right shoulder and hit a John Deere tractor, which had a snow blower attached to the front.

Deputies say the tractor was close to the end of the driveway when it was hit and knocked on its side.

The tractor operator was hospitalized with critical injuries, authorities explain. The Cadillac driver was unhurt.
