An elderly Nebraska man has died in a tractor accident.

Local media reports that 80-year-old Virgil Oberg was found dead under a tractor Friday afternoon near Ceresco in southeast Nebraska.

The Lancaster County Sheriff’s office says deputies responding to a 911 call found Oberg pinned under the tractor.

Oberg lived on the property, and officials say it appeared he had been trying to cut down a tree near a creek embankment when the tractor rolled onto him.
