Explain briefly the following article:

Another death at work, just on the day when the 1st of May was celebrated. Yesterday evening, a 64-year-old man, Mario Mondello from Agrigento, died in Contrada Burraiti, in Favara, in the province of Agrigento, while he was working. According to an initial reconstruction, the sixty-four-year-old man was driving a tractor when he lost control of the vehicle and ended up in an artificial pond. The victim, at the time of the accident, was working in a plot of land he owned. The firefighters from Agrigento and the police arrived at the scene. The firefighters had to wait for heavy machinery to recover the man and the tractor from the pond. The difficulty was also due to the darkness that had fallen in the late evening. The police carried out all the necessary investigations at the scene to understand the exact dynamics of the accident. (In the archive photo, a damaged tractor after an accident)
