Tragic Bobcat Accident in Michigan | Grand Rapids News

A tragic machinery accident in Otto Township, Michigan, claimed the life of 57-year-old Kirt VanDevusse when he was fatally entangled in the hydraulic arms of a Bobcat Skid-Steer he was operating—equipment that lacked basic safety features like a seatbelt. First responders arrived around 3 PM Thursday after he reportedly backed into a log, which ejected him from his seat. No foul play is suspected, and condolences are extended to his grieving family as this heartbreaking incident serves as a sobering reminder of heavy machinery’s dangers.
