Prevention?

• A Hampshire woman sustained head injuries Wednesday afternoon

when an airplane lift fell on her in a hangar at The Landings airstrip

near Huntley. Huntley Fire Protection District Chief Ken Caudle said

the woman was under the lift, which is used to raise airplanes off the

ground, doing maintenance when it slipped back into the “lowered”

position on top of her. Only some tires stacked nearby reportedly

kept it from crushing her. She was taken by helicopter to Condelll

Medical Center in Libertyville, where her condition was not available

Thursday.
