On October 15th, 2002, a 28-year-old farm employee was involved in a fatal tractor-trailer rollover. The employee was using a tractor-trailer to transport liquid manure from an on-farm manure storage pit to a field location for spreading when the incident occurred. At the time of the incident, the victim was still on the roadway between the farm and field location and was attempting to make a 90 degree turn in the road when the tractor-trailer rolled over, coming to rest on the driver's side. The victim was trapped partially in the cab of the manure truck, and as the window had been open, the victim's head was outside and underneath the door of the truck. The owner of the farm was at the accident location, and immediately called for help. The emergency squad arrived within eight minutes; the victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the coroner.
