John Brown Caldwell of Mount Ulla in Western Rowan County was thrown off the tractor before it rolled over him, said Trooper D. H. Robinson of the state Highway Patrol. The accident happened on N.C. 150, about eight miles west of Salisbury. Robinson said the tractor was going east near Fannie Sloan Road and was attempting to make a left turn into a private driveway. At the same time, a 1987 Acura came over a hill and started to pass, Robinson said. The driver of the Acura, Dennis Austin, 42, of Salisbury, said Caldwell did not give a hand signal to show he was about to turn, Robinson Said. Robinson said the accident happened in a dangerous spot, just past a hill. He said it's possible that Caldwell checked for traffic before he turned the slow-moving tractor, but didn't see the Acura coming because it was still below the crest of the hill. Austin was traveling at the speed limit of 55 mph, Robinson said. He was not injured. Caldwell, who suffered major head and body injuries, died at the scene, Robinson said. No charges were filed. (The Charlotte-Observer, May 8, 1997) -------------------------------------------- ELDERLY MAN KILLED WHEN CAR SLAMS INTO HIS TRACTOR MOUNT ULLA - A Rowan County man died Wednesday morning after his tractor collided with a car. John Brown "J.B." Caldwell, Jr., 76, of 13012 Mooresville Rd., Mount Ulla, was traveling east on N.C. 150 just in front of a 1987 Acura driven by Dennis Austin, 42, of Salisbury, around 9:14 a.m. Wednesday, said Rowan County highway patrolman D. H. Robinson. Austin began to pass Caldwell when Caldwell started to turn his tractor left into a private driveway and into Austin's path, he said. "He hit the back portion of the tractor, which rolled and threw Mr. Caldwell from the tractor," he said. "We believe the tractor rolled over him." Rowan County EMS workers and volunteers from the Mount Ulla VFD called for a helicopter from Carolinas Medical Center and began to perform CPR on Caldwell said Rowan County EMS manager Frank Thomason. "He died on the scene," he said. Austin was traveling at 55 mph, the speed limit through that area, Robinson said. No charges will be filed against Austin, who was not injured, he said.
