BOY DIES IN ACCIDENT

A 12-year-old Wythe County boy died Tuesday night when a tractor he was driving overturned on a farm near Peppers Ferry Road.

Authorities said Todd Cassell died from injuries sustained when the tractor hit a stump and turned over. An apparent gasoline spill caused it to catch fire; fire units from Max Meadows and Wytheville extinguished the blaze.

The boy's father is Sheffey Elementary School Principal Leon Cassell.
