BATTLE CREEK, Neb. (AP) Authorities say a Norfolk man died after he was pinned under a skid loader in an offshoot of the Elkhorn River.
Emergency workers were sent to the scene at Kelly’s Country Club west of Norfolk around 12:45 p.m. Friday. The Madison County Sheriff’s Department says 89-year-old Vince Kirby was working with the skid loader when it went into the water, pinning Kirby under it. He was rescued from beneath the machine and taken to a Norfolk hospital.
Madison County Attorney Joe Smith says Kirby died later at the hospital.
