A tractor accident Saturday afternoon has claimed the life of Missouri Valley School Board President Dan Zaiser. KETV in Omaha reports a neighbor and his nephew found the 53-year old Zaiser underneath the overturned tractor not far from the driveway entrance to his home. The two men and Zaiser’s twin brother helped pull him out from under the machine and immediately began to perform CPR.

It’s thought slippery conditions caused by a recent 5-inch rainfall contributed to the accident.

Family members said Zaiser’s other brother also died in a tractor accident on the same farm years ago. Zaiser served on the Missouri Valley School Board for 10 years. He’s survived by his wife, two daughters and a twin brother.
