Investigators say the tractor was headed south on the shoulder when a southbound Ram pickup truck collided with the back of the tractor.
The tractor went off the road and into the ditch where it rolled, and the man who was driving, 21, was thrown from it. He was identified by police late Monday morning as Travis O’Brien of Norfolk County.
