A 23-year-old farmer was killed when the tractor he was operating overturned on him. The victim had been trimming trees on an access road to a farm. He had a graffle fork and bucket on the tractor and it had trimmings from the trees in it. He was backing the tractor down a dirt/gravel road and the left rear wheel went off the road down an embankment angled at approximately 40 degrees. The tractor rolled over trapping the victim underneath. This tractor was not equipped with a rollover protective structure (ROPS). The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
