A weekend farm equipment accident in Milton has taken the life of a 69-year-old man.
Deputies with the Rock County Sheriff’s Office say the victim was operating a tractor pulling a corn picker across an old concrete bridge when the picker started to go off the edge.
The man stopped and called his son for help. While waiting, he tried to back the tractor off the bridge, but a section of concrete gave way.
The tractor flipped and pinned the victim against a tree.
His name hasn’t been released, and an autopsy is pending in Madison.
