OTTAWA — A 72-year-old Ottawa man fell off his tractor and the tractor rolled over him Sunday morning, Sheriff Jeff Curry said. The accident occurred in the 3700 block of Old Highway 59 north of Ottawa, he said. He identified the man as Duane Anderson. Friends of Anderson said he was treated at a hospital and was released and is now home recovering. Anderson said his shoulder and knee were injured. He said the 60-year-old tractor may have slipped into gear while he was on the ground and it rolled over him. One friend reported that Anderson told him, “that old Ferguson hasn’t gotten me yet.”
