Tractor And Bush Hog Run Over And Kill Employee

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on May 14, 2004, Employee #1 was operating a John Deere tractor with attached Bush Hog mower to mow a large field behind the park headquarters. After stopping the bush hog and raising it approximately 12 in. above the ground, Employee #1 began driving forward when the bush hog, because of its weight, caused the tractor to become unstable. Employee #1 was thrown from the seat of the tractor and was run over by the left rear tire and left side of the bush hog resulting in his death.
