A Jackson County man died Friday night in Wirt County when his farm tractor rolled over on him.

Thomas Carter, 68, of Ravenswood, was pronounced dead at the scene at 11 p.m. by Wirt County Coroner Gregory T. Busch.

Authorities said the man was using a brush hog on a hill owned by a family member when the left wheel of his tractor apparently ran over a hole, flipped and struck a tree.

Carter was found underneath the brushhog in the Rose Hill community.
