Hay, That's Not Funny

Sadly, help did not arrive in time to bale this man out.

Orleans, NY -- A Pennsylvania man was killed when he was struck by bales of hay in Jefferson County Thursday.

State Police in Alexandria Bay said George H. Baker, 66, of Gap, Penn., was parked on the side of county Route 5 in Lafargeville picking up a load of hay to bring back to Pennsylvania. "He was walking along the flat-bed trailer, securing tie-down straps as the hay was being loaded," police reported, when three bales of hay fell onto him.

Baker was taken to Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown where he was pronounced dead.
