Cornelia Payne
Her tractor hit a log that was submerged in high grass, and started to tilt.  Afraid that the tractor would roll over on top of her, she jumped off.  Without her weight on it, the tractor righted itself as it went over the log.  It then began to roll backwards down the slope toward her, and Cornelia was run over by the large rear wheel of the one tonne tractor.  The accident broke Cornelia’s pelvis and lacerated her leg.
