Workers went searching for Kimbrough around 3 p.m. Saturday after not hearing from him for some time. He was found unresponsive shortly after 3 p.m. with the Bobcat UTV he was driving flipped on top of him. According to West, it appears Kimbrough got stuck and the Bobcats somehow overturned, trapping him underneath.
