    OREGON, Ill. (WTVO) — An Ogle County man was hospitalized Wednesday after he was hit by a car while mowing on a riding lawnmower.

    According to the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office, the 60-year-old Leaf River man was riding a Cub Cadet lawn mower around 5:50 p.m. as he was mowing the north ditch in the 100 block of E. Town Line Road when he was struck by a Volkswagen Passat driven by a 44-year-old Oregon woman.

    The man was ejected from the mower and suffered injuries that required him to be transported to OSF St. Anthony Hospital. His current condition is unknown.

    The woman, who claimed she was partially blinded by the sun, was not cited in the accident.
