On Tuesday, Timothy Peterson, 67, was pronounced dead at the scene on the 6800 block of Carlson Road, in the Twig area, according to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office. The call was placed shortly after 3 p.m.

Authorities described the tracked vehicle as an “older piece of equipment” that was privately owned and was being used to plow the driveway of a private property. No further details were immediately made available about the circumstances of the incident, though the sheriff’s office said foul play was not suspected.

The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office was also called to the scene and is assisting the sheriff’s office in the investigation.
