A tragic incident occurred in North Codorus Township, York County, resulting in the death of a 47-year-old man. The accident involved a tractor and took place on Renoll Lane on September 10.
The York County Coroner was alerted to the scene at approximately 8 p.m. Upon arrival, they discovered the victim pinned under a hydrostatic tractor and unresponsive. It remains unclear when exactly the accident happened, but according to the coroner's report, witnesses last saw the operator about an hour before he was found.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the man had been attempting to create a swale—a shallow trench designed for rainwater runoff—when tragedy struck. The tractor veered too close to an embankment edge and began sliding down uncontrollably.
As it descended, the tractor rolled over before finally coming to rest on top of the man at the bottom of a bank adjacent to a cinder block wall.
Firefighters were called upon for assistance in extricating the victim from beneath the heavy machinery. Unfortunately, despite their efforts and those of medical professionals who arrived shortly after, he was pronounced dead at around 8:40 p.m.
The coroner has determined that no autopsy will be conducted as part of this investigation.
