He was driving a tractor when it overturned

HEBRON, Md. — A Md. fire department president was killed Tuesday morning in an accident.

Hebron Fire Department President and Assistant Chief Engineer David Mammi, 34, was killed after a tractor he was driving overturned, according to Delaware Online.

Mammi was reportedly driving a tractor with a propane tank trailer attached to it when the vehicle overturned. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The single-vehicle incident is still under investigation.
