A woman was killed Saturday afternoon when a landscaping crew mowed over her in Beard Brook Park.
Modesto Police Department spokeswoman Sharon Bear said around noon Saturday, employees with Grover Landscape Services were mowing the grass in Beard Brook Park, which sits just south of Yosemite Avenue along Dry Creek. Bear said a crew member was mowing and “noticed a body in the grass he had already made a pass through.”
The employee called 911, Bear said, and when law enforcement arrived, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim has been identified as 27-year-old Christine Chavez of Modesto.
