# Woman survives tractor drag with ruptured intestine in Faridabad 2026-08-26T18:27:58+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A 21-year-old woman from Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, survived life-threatening injuries after her clothes got caught in a tractor wheel, dragging her and causing massive blood loss, a ruptured intestine and a torn diaphragm. She was rushed to Sarvodaya Hospital in Faridabad in critical condition with haemorrhagic shock and dangerously low blood pressure. Doctors said the injury pushed her stomach and part of the colon into her chest, a displacement seen in less than 1% of trauma cases. A multidisciplinary team led by Dr Arjun Goel performed a three-hour emergency surgery to repair the diaphragm, reposition the organs, and remove damaged small intestine. The woman required intensive care and multiple blood transfusions but later stabilised and resumed daily activities. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Tractor-related injuries are a known but underreported hazard in rural India, where tractors are used for transport as well as farming. This case's rarity lies in the combination of a torn diaphragm and ruptured intestine from a dragging accident. The survival of such polytrauma depends heavily on the proximity of a hospital with a multidisciplinary trauma team, something not available in most small towns. Mathura has district hospitals, but the patient was taken to Faridabad, suggesting the need for higher-level care. The case highlights the gap in emergency trauma infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh, where road accident deaths are among the highest in the country according to government data. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight narrative of a medical case with doctor quotes, no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
