A farming accident has claimed the life of a 5-year-old Dickinson County girl.

Dickinson County Sheriff Gareth Hoffman said emergency crews were called to bean field in the area of 3400 Avenue and Key Road around 5:00p.m. Wednesday evening to the report of a farming accident.

Sheriff Hoffman said Brian Debenham and his daughter Brooklyn Debenham were in the cab of an enclosed combine cutting soybeans.

Brian Debenham said he hit a bump, and the girl fell through the front glass of the combine and fell onto the header.

The accident occurred about 10 miles north and east of Abilene.
