The Delaware County Sheriff's Office is investigating a fatal accident this morning at about 8:00 AM in Margaretville that claimed the life of Town of Middletown Board Member Jacob Rosa of Arkville. Deputies reported that Rosa was on a disabled farm tractor that was being towed by a landowner along a narrow, snow covered driveway when a wheel of the tractor dropped off the driveway adjacent to a steep embankment and overturned, fatally injuring Rosa. The tractor, which was not running at the time of the accident, was not equipped with tire chains or a rollover protection structure.
