A 30-year employee of the Portland (Conn.) Golf Course died Saturday from injuries sustained during an accident two days earlier.<\/p>\n
According to published reports, Andrew B. Sloan of Colchester, Conn. was driving a three-wheel Cushman Turf-Truckster with a spray tank on the back. He apparently was on a hill at about 8:30 a.m. when the vehicle rolled over pinning him underneath. Golfers called 911 and they, along with rescue personnel, pulled him from underneath the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Sloan was first taken to Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, Conn. then transferred to Hartford Hospital where he died.<\/p>\n
The Middletown Press newspaper reported that police are looking into the possibility that a “medical emergency” may have played a role in the accident.<\/p>\n
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating.<\/p>\n
