An 84-year-old woman died and her husband was injured as they worked to repair a tractor on a South Carolina property, an official said.

Her husband was injured when the tractor ran him over, the statement says.
The woman was identified as Judith Ann Ruff, according to Clevenger. A forensic exam was scheduled for June 1.
An obituary for Ruff could not be found online.
Inman is about 100 miles northwest of Columbia.
