UPDATED Sunday, May 13, 2012 --- 3:23 p.m.

BERN, Wis. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a 3-year-old boy who died after a skid steer accident on his family's farm.

The Wasau Daily Herald reports that Travis Flory died after he fell out of a bucket on the skid steer, and the vehicle ran him over. His 7-year-old brother was driving at the time.

The Marathon County Sheriff's Department says two other siblings were also playing with the vehicle at the time.

Authorities are still investigating. The 7-year-old regularly operated the machine during farm chores.
