NAPOLEON, N.D. (AP) - A grain bin accident has killed a southeastern North Dakota farmer.
Logan County Chief Deputy Sheriff and Coroner Steve Engelhardt says 39-year-old Charles Sperle died in the yard of his farm near Napoleon on Monday afternoon when corn broke loose from a grain bin he was unloading and covered him.
Engelhardt tells The Bismarck Tribune (https://bit.ly/1bLY2a9 ) that at one point there were about 20 people working with shovels to try to rescue Sperle but that the corn “was coming out like a waterfall.”
Funeral arrangements are pending.
