I was told that the employee was delivering the sprayer to a farmer and while he was at the farm he somehow got between the sprayer and the truck. He later passed away in the hospital. I don't know the location but it was somewhere in Illinois. Terrible thing to happen anytime of the year and especially to happen around the holidays. I don't know the name of the person killed but my condolences go to his family.

So how does a guy from Texas learn about an accident in Illinois, get a reply from a guy in Wisconsin that also knows about the same accident in Illinois?
Just had an employee of a local quarry killed on the job near here last week, got cought in a piece of equipment.
If my information is correct happened north of Carlinvillle, about 15 miles from. Seen it on here earlier, never heard any details about it or where it was at till this morning.

I was told that the sprayer locked up when loading it, they had to have a mechanic come out and "unlock" the transmission. In that process the sprayer was able to roll like in neutral. He got crushed when it started rolling.
I was told by another employee at another dealer. He had at least 2 kids (maybe more) and one of them was in the armed forces.
