The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office this morning identified the child as Isaac Decker, of Rochester. He is 3 years old, not 4 years old as initially reported, according to Lt. Greg Elwin.
According to Elwin, Isaac was riding on the running board of a sod-cutting tractor being driven by his 7-year-old brother.
At some point, the boy jumped off and slipped and was run over, according to Elwin.
Deputies and aid were called about 8:15 p.m. last night to the farm on the 17600 block of McCormick Road Southwest.
The boy suffered what Elwin described as massive head trauma and was declared dead the scene, Elwin reported.
An adult male was riding on the back of the tractor.
The child’s 18-year-old cousin saw it happening, tried to help and was injured as well, according to Elwin.
