Incident on Jul 23, 1997 (fatal): Employee killed when run over by tractor
At approximately 5:00 p.m. on July 23, 1997, Employee #1, a 20-year-old worker a t Davis Ranch, was plowing a field to cut down the weeds prior to removing the 6 to 8 in. layer of sand left from winter storms when a levy broke and flooded th e farm. He was operating an International tractor, model 1086, with dual rear wh eels to pull a 14 ft wide by 9 ft long gang disc. While plowing near a roadway, the tractor apparently struck two 4 by 4 posts sticking out of the ground to mar k water valves. The tractor bounced up, and Employee #1 was thrown in front of t he rear wheels. He was run over and then pinned under the disc framework as the disc dug into the ground and caused the tractor to stall out. Employee #1 was ki lled. His body was found at about 9:00 p.m. by his father, who reported the acci dent. The local fire department and the Sacramento County sheriff/coroner's depa rtment responded to the scene. The cause of the accident was the lack of seatbel ts in the tractor.
