A man was killed Sunday morning when the tractor he was driving overturned at a Valley Ford ranch, officials said.
Emergency crews were called to the ranch near Walker Road about 10:30 a.m. The tractor apparently overturned as the driver worked on a slope and rolled onto him, said Sonoma County Sheriff’s Lt. Greg Miller.
The victim’s name wasn’t being released Sunday as family was being located. He was believed to be about 40 years old and was working at the ranch, Miller said.
Because it was work-related, the case is being investigated by Cal-OSHA, the state’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Miller said.
