A 76-year-old South Carolina man has died after being “entangled” in his tractor during a crash, officials said.
The Cherokee County Coroner’s Office said Gary Moss was found by his wife Monday afternoon at their home near Blacksburg after she went out to look for him, according to The State newspaper.
“Moss was cutting grass on his property with his tractor … when he drove down an embankment and was ejected,” Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler reportedly said in a press release, noting that Moss was towing a landscape attachment.
“The tractor continued towards Moss trapping him between it and the Bush Hog attachment,” he added, according to The State. “Moss’ wife found her husband trapped in the Ford 1620 tractor and called 9-1-1 for help.”
The coroner’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday from Fox News Digital.
The Ford 1620 tractor can weigh up to 2,352 pounds, according to the Tractordata.com website.
Fowler said an autopsy has now been scheduled to determine Moss’ cause of death.
Blacksburg is a city west of Charlotte, North Carolina.

In mid-August, a Pennsylvania woman died in a “freak accident” while watching a tractor pull at a county fair, officials said.
An “equipment malfunction” on the tractor caused the exhaust wheel to detach and come off the vehicle, striking Brandy Horner as she sat in the seat, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Off-duty medical personnel tried to save the woman’s life, but she was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. He is 33 years old.
The incident occurred during the Union County West End Fair in Laurelton, Pennsylvania. Police said there was no suspicion of fraud or criminal activity in their investigation.
The tractor pull event was canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances,” but the rest of the fair continued as planned.
