A 29-year-old man was badly hurt when he fell under the wheels of a pickup truck on Forest Service Road 6360 near Squaw Creek.

According to sheriff's department reports, Aric Overman of Crooked River was riding on the windowsill of a pick-up truck, trying to reach the bed, when the truck hit a bump.

Overman fell, and was run over by the truck. Overman was airlifted to St. Charles Medical Center with a possible broken back, punctured lung and punctured spleen.

Police reported that the driver, Jamie Allan Pulis, 28, drove to a ridge to get cell service to call 911, and as he was returning ran into a tree, heavily damaging his truck.
