    Freak accident on tractor kills another neighbor

    Couple months ago guy that lived just down from the farm was killed instantly when small copperhead bit him and now another guy about same distance away from us died-

    Ronnie Zientek was mowing on a tractor and ran over a large limb he didn't see in the tall grass. The front tire flipped the limb over and a branch pierced his leg, through his groining area and lower body cavity and out his back. This happened on or around July 4. He made a long slow recovery and was finally home and couple days ago started bleeding out his mouth from internal bleeding
    His brother said they think it was caused by blood thinners but won't know for few days. Ronnie was in early 50's

    Crazy- Many people say brush hog threw up limb and that's how it happened but that is incorrect and even what I had originally heard. His brother told me yesterday what actually happened. He was mowing for a ranch that is right next door to our place bordering it.

    Be careful guys - life is short

        That IS a freak accident. I think anybody that has spent any time on a tractor has run over sticks and logs in high grass and thought nothing of it.

                      Wear your seatbelt too.

                      If you get bucked off by a limb you have a good chance of getting shredded.
