Default Towpilot fatality in Oregon

I appears that the tow plane had mechanical problems, and, or had an
on board fire before landing in the grass field. This is preliminary
info. It appears the tug landed safely in a field but the pilot was
unable to get out in time. Scott was one of the nicest guys I've ever
met and will be greatly missed.
