ETRICK, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities say a western Wisconsin man has died in a rotary mower accident.

   The Trempealeau County Sheriff's Department says 47-year-old Brady Olson of Ettrick was operating a tractor with a rotary mower attached. A preliminary investigation found the tractor was heading downhill when Olson somehow became entangled between the tractor and the mower.

   The accident was reported just before 7:30 p.m. Monday. Olson died at the scene.
