Abstract: At approximately 4:30 p.m. on December 7, 1992, Employee #1 was operating a 1965 M-R-S- tractor with two 1973 Vanguard cane trailers attached. He was driving from one cane field to another loading up his trailer with cane. It appears that Employee #1, who was traveling on the south side of a canal at farm F, field 16, drifted to the left and drove into the canal. The trailer overturned, pinning the employee under the cab in about 5 feet of water. Employee #1's coworkers rescued him and immediately administered CPR until an ambulance arrived. The medical examiner pronounced Employee #1 dead. He had drowned. Inspection of the tractor did not reveal any equipment malfunction that might have led to the accident.
