A local teenager, just a junior at Lowell High School, and a student who took the freshman computer class taught by my wife was killed a couple days ago after being run over by a tractor.
One of the local farmers has a "Pumkin Patch" with a haunted hayride, petting zoo, etc. This young man, who was a confused kid a couple years ago and how really matured into a nice kid over the past 2 years, was working as a Zombie on the haunted hayride. I didn't get all the details, but he slipped and fell and was run over and crushed by a tractor pulling a bunch of families who were out for an evening of pumpkin picking and family fun.
His wake is today. I heard, but have no way to confirm, that the farmer may have tried (and failed) to commit suicide later that night after the death of this young man.
Most of us are tractor owners. Be careful out there. We don't need any more senseless deaths.
