BRIDGEPORT — An orchard worker was killed when a tractor rolled on him near Bridgeport.

The Douglas County sheriff’s office said 66-year-old German Jimenez-Flores was found Wednesday night after his family became worried that he didn’t come home.

The Wenatchee World reported it appears the tractor may have hit a tree, which caused it to roll.
