SONOMA COUNTY, CA – A Santa Rosa man died Tuesday when an all-terrain vehicle rolled
over and landed on him at a vineyard in unincorporated Sonoma County south of Santa Rosa, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.

The man's daughter called the sheriff's office around 8 p.m. She said she went to look for her 62-year-old father when he didn't come home from work and found him dead under the ATV in the 4500 block of Grange Road.
