Farm worker killed by tractor

A 55-year-old farm worker was killed when he was crushed between a tractor and baling wagon late yesterday. The accident happened while the man was working on a farm in Brovst in northern Jutland. “It appears that he may have been separating the wagon from the tractor when the tractor rolled back and pinned him against the baler,” said North Jutland Police spokesperson Aage Pedersen. A neighbouring farmer found the man and called paramedics, who tried in vain to revive him. The accident is being investigated  – DR News
