ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (AP) - Authorities say a farmer died in central Minnesota after he was run over by the plow his tractor was pulling.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says deputies found the man’s body in a farm field Sunday morning.

The victim had been run over and dragged by a chisel plow. The tractor pulling the plow then got stuck in a ditch.
