Akron Man Dead On Snowy Driveway

An Akron man is dead after he was hit by a tractor on a driveway in Colorado. Police say 60-year old Terry Stout and a brother were traveling to their ranch in New Castle but they crashed on the steep driveway and got up to walk toward home. At the same time, an employee on the ranch was traveling down the driveway to help but slid into Stout, who wasn't able to get out of the way.

The coroner in Garfield County, Colorado told The Denver Post the cause of death appears to be blunt force trauma consistent with being struck by a vehicle, but an autopsy was still pending. At this point, the death has been ruled an accident.

Stout's family owns R.B. Stout Landscaping; he was a 1974 graduate of Firestone High school. He leaves three children behind.

The Stout Ranch describes itself as a home for avid hunters but also hosted polo matches; in addition to beautiful views adjacent to publicly-owned land, the ranch pieced together various tracts of land that served as hunting grounds for the Ute tribe. The land was first homesteaded in 1903, and became the Stout Ranch in 1993 and included at least two ponds and fields on the property near New Castle, Colorado.
