ALBANY, Minn. (AP) - A central Minnesota man has died in a farm accident.

Stearns County authorities said the man was found unresponsive under an overturned gravity box grain wagon on Wednesday night.

A family member found Daniel Wielenberg, 52, of Albany under the gravity box. A skid steer loader was used to remove the box. Wielenberg was dead at the scene.



Authorities say a corn bridge crust had formed over the top of the box, and Wielenberg tried to break the bridge, causing the box to overturn.
