Employee killed when run over by disk's dual tires

At 6:00 a.m. on June 18, 1991, Employee #1 was assigned to disk part of a farm field.

He slipped or tripped, and fell down the metal stairs of the tractor, hitting the left side of his head and his left shoulder and landing underneath the tractor. He was able to avoid the tractor tires but was run over, crushed, and killed by the disk's right set of tires.
