An Anderson County farmer is dead after a truck hit the tractor he was riding on. 
According to WIS, 58-year-old Harold Clinkscales was pulling a hay rake while riding his John Deere tractor, when a 58-year-old pickup driver hit and killed him. Anderson County Coroner stated that Clinkscales was stopped in a driveway off Smith McGee road right outside the town of Starr.
The accident occurred after a pickup driver slowed down to see if Clinkscale was going to pull out of the driveway. Another pickup truck, driven by Eddie Arnold, sideswiped the first truck and left the roadway, crashing into Clinkscales. Clinkscales died at the scene and Arnold was airlifted to Greenville Memorial Hospital. The other pickup driver was uninjured.
The accident remains under investigation. It is unknown if any charges have been filed in connection to the accident.
