Employee Is Injured When Run over by Tractor

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on August 23, 2011, an employee, a mechanic, was bleeding air from the diesel fuel system. While standing in front of the tractor's left rear wheel, the employee depressed the tractor's clutch with his left hand while leaning over to turn the start key with his right. The tractor was in gear with the throttle set at full causing the tractor to lung forward as the key was turned. The tractor ran over the employee then traveled approximately 70 feet before colliding into a park vehicle. The local fire department and ambulance company responded and the employee was airlifted to a Reno, Nevada hospital. The employee sustained multiple rib fractures, a fractured right scapula, and fractures to the right orbital socket, cheek bone, lower jaw and multiple teeth. The employee was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
