BURKE, N.Y. (AP) - A 1-year-old boy has died in what authorities called an agricultural accident in Franklin County.

New York State Police said Benjamin Miller was fatally struck Thursday after approaching a skid steer his father was using to tow a hay wagon in the town of Burke along the Canadian border.

Authorities said the boy was taken to a hospital in nearby Malone, where he was pronounced dead.



The death remains under investigation.
