Abstract: Prior to 12:45 p.m. on June 30, 1994, Employee #1 was apparently operating a John Deere tractor. Employee #1 may have experienced a possible diabetic reaction (he was a known diabetic), as reports indicated that the tractor was swaying from side to side for approximately 300 to 400 ft prior to striking a tree and running in a stationary position. Employee #1 was found lying on the ground near the tractor's left rear tire, partially covered with soil from the tire diggings. Initial reports did not indicate that Employee #1 was run over by the tractor. The autopsy report indicated that Employee #1 died of hypovolemic shock due to crushing injuries of the pelvis and lower extremities. There were no witnesses to the accident.
