Investigator narrative
Unsure how accident happened. Best guess is that the one or both of the left side wheels of the tractor caught a rib and caused the tractor to overturn. The employee was found under the left fender with his head and chest crushed. Do not, at this time, have autospy results to confirm whether the tractor caused death or something prior to the overturned tractor.
