Lawnmower crushing death

A lawnmower crushing accident killed a 73-year old Walhallan on Saturday at his home at 208 N. John Street.  The coroner said a zero-turn mower flipped while Webster Bruce was spraying his yard after going down a slight grade.  Coroner Addis said a rollover protection device was not being used at the time.  Police and fire personnel started resuscitating, but Bruce died at the scene.  The accident is believed to have occurred Saturday morning between 10 and 11 o’clock.
