A 70-year-old man was killed in a tractor accident on his Mount Burrell property on Christmas Eve.
Police say the man was slashing a paddock at the property on O’Brien’s Road late in the morning when his tractor rolled on a slope, trapping him underneath it.
He was pinned and died at the scene from his injuries.
The Westpac rescue helicopter attended but was not required.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
