In Steinbach an der Steyr, Upper Austria, an accident involving a tractor occurred on Friday.
A 69-year-old man was fatally injured on Friday afternoon in Steinbach an der Steyr (Kirchdorf district) with a tractor that had stones stacked on its rear loader. As he drove the vehicle uphill on a field path, the front wheels likely lifted off the ground, causing the tractor to tip sideways over an embankment and overturn. The farmer fell from the vehicle and was trapped underneath. A relative found the victim, but any help came too late for him, according to the police.
