The Iowa State Patrol reports a man from southeastern Iowa died during a tractor rollover accident Monday evening in Keokuk County. 21-year old Christian Little, of Hedrick, was operating a 1983 International Series 1954 tractor eastbound on Highway 22 just east of South English, when the tractor left the road and entered the south ditch. The tractor then rolled over and came to rest in the south ditch.

Little was ejected from the machine and also came to rest in the ditch. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The accident happened a little after 5-p.m.
