Abstract: At 8:22 a.m. on December 12, 2017, an employee was working at a grape vineyard. He was operating a John Deere tractor. He was using the tractor to pull a shredder through a vineyard to shred canes that had been cut from the vines. The tractor suddenly went into neutral. The employee called to report the condition to a coworker. They agreed that the employee would look under the tractor in an attempt to resolve the problem. The tractor was still running. While he was lying down between the right front and rear tires, the employee saw a cane stuck under the tractor. When he pulled on the cane, the tractor went from neutral into reverse. The front tire ran over his head and torso. He sustained multiple facial fractures, left rib fractures, and right pelvic fractures. He was hospitalized.
