Homeless Woman Dies after Run Over by Landscaping Crew while Sleeping at Beard Brook Park

 
MODESTO, CA (July 15, 2023) – Christine Chavez was killed after being run over by a local landscaping crew in Modesto Saturday noon on July 8.
 
According to the Modesto Police Department, employees with Grover Landscape Services were mowing the grass in Beard Brook Park, which sits just south of Yosemite Avenue along Dry Creek. A crew member was mowing and noticed a body in the grass he had already made a pass through.
 
The employee called 911, and when law enforcement arrived, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
 
Authorities identified Chavez as the victim. She was 27 years old. She was unhoused and was asleep on the grass when she was hit by the lawn mower.
 
It was unknown why the landscaper, who was driving a John Deere tractor with a pull-behind mower, did not see the woman in the grass. Chavez was not in a tent.
 
Grover is cooperating with law enforcement officials in their investigation.

We send our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Christine Chavez.
