A fourteen-year-old boy has died in a north Iowa farm accident. Howard County Sheriff Tim Beckman says the incident occurred at about 5 p.m. Tuesday about 10 miles west of Elma.
Initial reports indicated that a juvenile boy had been pinned underneath a tractor, but Beckman says it appears the family was taking a large steel wheel off the tractor when the steel wheel tipped over on the teen. The Howard County medical examiner determined his death was accidental.
