A 67-year-old man from the Rural Municipality of Morris is dead after a farming accident, RCMP say.
The incident took place Friday afternoon at a rural property on Road 35 NE, when a tractor — which the man was using to clear snow — slid and overturned into a water-filled ditch.
Local firefighters were able to extract the man from the ditch, but he had been trapped underwater and was pronounced dead at the scene.
