One person is dead after a tractor tipped over and rolled into a pond.
Norfolk OPP says it was around 9:20 a.m. Tuesday when they were called, along with Norfolk County Fire and Rescue Services, paramedics and Air Ornge ambulance to a farm on Windham Road 5, southwest of Brantford.
Officers say they determined a 43-year-old man was driving an open cab farming tractor near a pond. The tractor slid down the embankment and rolled, trapping the driver.
