Police have identified a 4-year-old child who died after an accident involving a farm tractor in Watertown over the weekend.
Once at the field, investigators said they learned 4-year-old Ellie Kuslis had become entangled within a slice seeder that was attached to the rear of a farm tractor that was being operated by her father.
Authorities said the tractor was stationary at the time of the incident, but the seeder remained engaged.
