The Lancaster County District Attorney’s office said Nolt allowed his 10-year-old son to drive a tractor towing a concrete mixer while his daughter sat on the platform of the mixer without adult supervision on July 20, 2024.

The girl died after she fell from the mixer and was crushed by the tractor wheels.

His next court appearance is March 5th. he is charged with second-degree felony, which could result in a sentence of up to 10 years.

Just very sad. Why was the toddler out in the field with daddy and big brother? Why was she allowed to sit on the feed mixer platform while her brubby was operating it? Why did her daddy go get on another piece of equipment and begin operating it?

This one feels so preventable and my heart hurts for the family ,particularly the 10 year old brother. What a horrible thing to live with for father and son.
