A farmer (41 years old) dies during a work accident with a tractor

NEXT FELDEN. Firefighters Harrachstal, Weitersfelden and St. Oswald near Freistadt were alerted on Monday morning of a tragic accident. A 41-year-old farmer had an accident in his workshop.

A 41-year-old man from the district of Freistadt only hung a winch on his tractor behind at around 8 o'clock. He should first have the lower points fixed and then remove the support legs. When he then wants to attach the upper arm to the upper three point attachment, the winch must be tilted forward when pressing on the hydraulics. The man was pressed by the weight of the winch in the upper body against the tractor and pinched. Only the fire brigades were able to release the victim. Rescue and rescue of the rescue helicopter "Christophorus 10" carried out resuscitation measures. Unfortunately, these failed. The farmer died at the scene of the accident.
