Tractor Pull Fatality at All Iowa Fair Claims Life of Contestant
A tractor pull at the All Iowa Fair ended in tragedy as Lester Paul Henson, 56, of Blackton, died after his tractor toppled and wheel struck his head during a 1000 pound class run. Eyewitnesses cited bouncing and a possible traction problem on the slick surface. Henson was pronounced dead on arrival at Mercy Hospital at 9:27 p.m. Officials noted the tractor’s dead man throttle function and suggested no recklessness, with safety rules in place. An ambulance reached the track, but the accident halted events for the night.
