Narrative

The employee had just dropped off some supplies on the 4600 ramp. When he re-entered the tractor to drive back down the ramp he either bumped the shift lever or did not have it fully engaged which caused the conveyance to free-wheel. This caused him to loose control and the tractor tipped on its side.
