Tractor accidents killed two people in upstate New York over the weekend.

A tractor rollover accident killed a western New York man on Sunday. State Police in Fredonia say 78-year-old John Bauer of the Buffalo suburb of Kenmore was cutting brush when his tractor overturned into a ditch Sunday afternoon. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A tractor accident also killed a 16-year-old boy 35 miles east of Syracuse on Saturday. Nathaniel Chandler was driving a tractor in Augusta when it started rolling backward on a hill and overturned in a ditch. He was pinned beneath it and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Could you give a few more details? Did the tractors have
ROPS? Did the operators have seat belts?

Yes, it makes you wonder if they had ROPS?

One could still get pinned / killed with a ROPS but it would seem to greatly reduce the odds.
