State police say a 36-year-old man has died after the farm vehicle he was driving crashed and overturned in a river near the Canadian border in northern New York. Troopers say Philip Fortsch III of Champlain was operating a manure spreader around 5 p.m. Monday on the Rovers Farms in the Clinton County town of Chazy, just north of Plattsburgh. Police say the vehicle ran off the edge of the driveway, causing the tractor to overturn and roll down an embankment into the Little Chazy River. The vehicle came to rest upside down with the cab submerged in about four feet of water. Emergency crews removed Fortsch from the vehicle and took him to the hospital in Plattsburgh, where he was pronounced about an hour after the accident. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Source : Man dies in tractor crash on upstate farm; cab submerged when vehicle overturns in river
