Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:30 p.m. on March 3, 2000, Employee #1, a farm tractor operator, apparently fell from a tractor he was driving while planting corn. Workers at a near by asparagus field reported a man lying beside a tractor as they were driving by the site going to work at approximately 6:00 a.m. on March 5, 2000. Their foreman called the tractor operator's foreman about 6:05 a.m. to relay the information. Employee #1's foreman arrived at the site and reported the accident to his supervisor. The tractor's engine was turned off and the tractor was stuck in a water drainage ditch with the planter still in the ground. There were no witnesses to this accident. Medical assistance was summoned, but Employee #1 was dead. The coroner ruled that the cause of death was multiple injuries combined with exposure and shock.
