42-year-old Juan Salazar died when his lawn mower overturned, pinning him in a pond Wednesday afternoon in E. Wichita; it happened in the 200 block of S. Bordeulac St., near 159th St. East & Kellogg.
According to Wichita police, the lawn mower inadvertently rolled into the pond, accidentally pinning Salazar under the water.
“Witnesses reported him being probably submerged for going on 10 minutes before we even actually located him,” said Wichita police Lt. Kris Henderson. “Fire and EMS arrived on scene, they were able to get him out of the water and attempted at that point to provide CPR but again he had passed.”
Police said Salazar was employed for a lawn service.
