LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18)– Four people are hurt after an accident on a Lexington tobacco farm.

It happened Wednesday afternoon on South Cleveland Road.

Paramedics brought three of the four to the hospital, while the fourth drove there.

They say while one person’s injuries are considered potentially life-threatening, the other three are expected to be okay.
