Tragic accident – trapped while working with a tractor: Eastern Styria dead

Date:

A tragic industrial accident occurred in Mortantsch, in eastern Styria, on Thursday afternoon: a 51-year-old man was trapped between his tractor and a tipping container. He died despite resuscitation efforts for nearly an hour.

A 51-year-old from Eastern Styria was working alone with a tractor on his farm in Mortantsch (Weiz district) on Thursday afternoon.

A terrible accident occurred. The exact cause is not clear, but police say the man may have become trapped between the tractor and the attached dump and suffered life-threatening injuries.

The police arrived first
Family members found the man and began CPR. A police patrol that arrived shortly afterwards provided support and used a defibrillator. But the rescue team that followed, including the emergency doctor, could no longer help the man and after further resuscitation attempts they could only determine that he was dead.
