A rural Rock Valley man was killed when he was pinned under a farm tractor eight miles northwest of Rock Valley.

The Sioux County Sheriff's office says 65-year-old Leo McDyer on Sunday was using a farm tractor to haul a loader bucket of dirt when it started to slide on loose rocks and gravel. The tractor rolled as it entered a small gully.

Authorities say McDyer was thrown from the tractor and pinned under it. The accident was reported when it was discovered by a friend staying at McDyer's home.

Finally, they have read something that they have written and have corrected it. I was horrified that the family of this victim would see this careless use of slang on ksfy online. This was no time and place for humor. The friends and family have enough to bear at this time.
