SALEM - The Columbiana County Sheriff's Department released additional details Tuesday about the death of 10-year-old Brian Steiner.
According to deputies, the boy had been operating a skid loader with a bucket attachment at the time of the accident at 2:21 p.m. Friday. He was moving dirt in preparation for a cement pad to be poured for a mobile home.

The incident was investigated by both the sheriff's department and the county coroner's office.
