The pilot descended the plane, landed, and after touching down, officials said he saw Hayes on the lawn mower. According to authorities, the pilot then tried to pull up the plane, but the wing struck Hayes in the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene.It sounds as though Ms. Hayes was right next to the runway, but it's possible she was on the pavement.

(Sounds like a great idea, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?)

If one plane in the pic was it, it was a low-wing, white plane.
Could be hard to pick up, but still.......

It looks like the runway is about 50 feet wide. The Bonanza has a wingspan of 33.6 feet. If the pilot landed off the center line and she was mowing at the edge of the runway, I could see how she got hit..
