A man dies at the Nebraska state fair after being pinned under an antique tractor.

The state patrol says it happened this morning in Grand Island.

The 75–year–old Kansas man was trying to load his 1936 John Deere tractor onto a trailer.

He fell off the tractor and was pinned beneath it after it slipped off the ramp.

No word on whether he took part in yesterday's attempt to set a new record for the largest tractor parade.
