Middletown, DE – Troopers are investigating a farm accident that occurred earlier this morning when a Middletown man was killed after a tow hook came through his windshield.
The incident occurred at approximately 8:45 a.m. Saturday October 18, 2014 when Robert L. Baker, 64 of Odessa, was attempting to tow a tractor trailer fully loaded with corn from a field located on the north side of Marl Pit Road just west of Cedar Lane Road. The farm tractor was pulling a grain hopper, which had a tow strap attached to the back, and began to pull the tractor trailer from the muddy field when the tow hook broke loose and was propelled through the driver's side window striking George R. Lynam Jr., 66 of Middletown in the upper torso.
George Lynam was transported from the scene by EMS to Christiana Hospital Trauma Center where he was pronounced dead.
Robert Baker was uninjured in the incident.
