A tractor flipped over killing the 60-year-old driver Sunday afternoon
during the Harvest Fair at the Jackson County Expo Center, according to
Sheriff's officials and eyewitnesses.

The name of the victim was withheld until notification of next of kin.

"I thought we could save his life, but he was pretty badly injured,"
said Carl Sieg, a member of branch 141 of the Early Day Gas Engine and
Tractor Association.

The Medford resident was one of a group of men who helped pull the
vintage International Farmall off the victim, while other people pulled
him out.

Sieg said he watched with some alarm as the man inched up a steep ramp
toward the trailer.
