AURORA, IN — An unidentified person was killed in a tractor accident Monday evening in Aurora.

Several agencies responded to the scene on East Laughery Creek Road, where they found the tractor off the side of the road and a propane tank that was leaking out of control.

Responders at the scene evacuated nearby residents as they worked to control what they called a “very dangerous situation.”

The tractor operator was killed, but no one else was injured.

The leak was contained after several hours.

Emergency officials remind you to call 9-1-1 and evacuate the area if you smell gas or see fuel leaking from a tank.
