Tractor Accident
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2013 10:10 pm
I just got home from our 4x4 club meeting. I found out from a friend of mine there that another friend of ours who he works with went out to start his tractor before he left for work this morning to plow the snow we got over night. Nobody knows what happened for sure but Pat was found lying in his driveway with severe injuries after the tractor had rolled over him. Don told me he only knew that Pat was in bad shape and had no other info. The word is he apparently laid there for several hours before somebody found him.
I first met Pat at the shop where I get my high lift serviced and we became quick friends. It turned out he sang in our church choir until moving to Indiana several years ago. Pat is a super great guy who goes out of his way to make sure his customers are treated right.
Fellas, ALWAYS, make sure you are aware of your surroundings and your footing when getting ready to use your tractor in the snow. It could be he started the tractor in gear, but that is all unknown for now. It only takes a quick second for something to go wrong.
