Sheriff: Man, 57, dies in Mercer County tractor accident

A 57-year-old man died of injuries he suffered after he was pinned underneath a tractor Monday morning on his property.

Douglas J. Randall was operating a Ford 8N tractor alone in a wooded area beside his residence in the 6300 block of Fleetfoot Road in Jefferson Twp. near Celina. It appeared he had been attempting to remove a large log when the tractor overturned and landed on top of him, according to a release from Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey.

Randall was taken by Celina EMS to Mercer Health Hospital in Coldwater. He later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
