Man, believed stabbed, found on riding mower

COLLIN COUNTY – Officials believe a 44-year-old Collin County man seen driving a riding lawnmower toward Farmersville on Thursday morning was stabbed multiple times, said Collin County sheriff's spokesman John Norton.
The man, whom deputies would not name, was flown to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he underwent surgery. He was listed in critical condition Thursday afternoon and was expected to survive, Lt. Norton said.
A driver on County Road 648 south of Farmersville in eastern Collin County saw the man about 8:30 a.m. and called 911. The victim was disoriented and not able to say much, Lt. Norton said.
A room in the house where the man was living in the 1500 block of County Road 648 had been ransacked, and blood was found in the area. Officials learned from family members that the man's car was missing.
Anyone with information about the missing tan-colored 1996 Nissan with California license plate 3RYB370 is asked to call the Collin County sheriff's office at 972-547-5100.
