Original Story: Oliver Springs Town Council Alderman, Jason Stiltner was air lifted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center today after an accident on a work site injured his left arm and hand. Stiltner’s vital signs are good according to his brother, Matthew Stiltner. However, he says that the injury is a “catastrophic” injury to his left arm and hand.
An update from Stiltner said that a team of doctors are preparing to get him into surgery to repair the arm.
Jason operates a tree cutting business called Big Orange Tree Service.
We want to ask people to say a prayer for Jason and his family. He will definitely be in our thoughts and prayers.
