HARTFORD CITY, Ind. (AP) - Authorities say a central Indiana teenager was killed when he stumbled while moving logs and fell into a hydraulic stump grinder.
The Blackford County coroner has identified Cody Bronnenberg of Yorktown as the victim in Saturday's accident on a rural property near Hartford City.
