Folks,
I wanted to let you know that Lane Linnenkohl, who was the teamster for the WIG at the Shiloh event, was severely injured last week in a farming accident at his farm in Illinois. I've pasted in some details of the incident below. Lane has been around the living history world for quite some time for professionally and as a hobby, and is a great guy loved by many. Please lift him up in your prayers. He has came through surgery and had to have a plate and some netting put into his skull because of massive head injuries, so this will be a long recovery. I will add more details as they become available from friends close to him.
HUNTLEY – A Huntley man was seriously injured Tuesday after being trampled by cows, according to authorities.
Lane Linnenkohl is listed in fair condition this morning at Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, according to a hospital spokesman.
The 38-year-old was taken to the hospital with severe head trauma at around 6 p.m. after being found unresponsive in a barn on the 13500 block of Adamson Road, according to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. He was attempting to feed the cows.
Linnenkohl was working at the dairy trying to move several cows from one area to another when the animals were startled and trampled him, police said.
Members of the Huntley Fire Protection District transported him to the hospital.
Investigators are unsure exactly what happened, as there were no witnesses to the incident, according to the fire department
