A three-year-old boy has died in a farming accident in southwestern Alberta.

Emergency services were called just after noon Tuesday to a cattle farm southwest of Fort Macleod.

Police say the child was riding on a tractor when he fell off and was run over.

The tractor was a small one — about twice the size of a garden tractor — pulling a cart of feed for calves.

EMS says it happened near Highway 810 and Township Road 84A.
