Inwood, Iowa — An Inwood man has died in a farm accident.
According to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office, 59-year-old Paul DeBoer of Inwood was driving the tractor in the 1300 block of 240th Street on Friday. Sheriff Stewart Vander Stoep says as he understands it, DeBoer was moving a round bale with the loader on the older tractor. He says the ground was wet, and the tractor was on an incline, when it slid and then caught and tipped, rolling over and pinning him underneath it. Emergency crews were called to the scene in the 12 p.m. hour.
DeBoer was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lyon County Coroner.
The Sheriff’s Office says that the Inwood Rescue Squad, the Inwood Fire Department, the Canton-Inwood Ambulance Squad, and Lyon County deputies responded to the call.
