Accident on the Weerberg
Farmer crashed with hay caterpillar over steep terrain
A serious accident occurred in a field in Weerberg at around 1.45 pm on Friday. A farmer (67) suffered serious injuries.
The 67-year-old was working with relatives on a field cutting hay. He was turning the mown grass with a hay caterpillar - this is when the accident occurred.
Gear jumped out
The gear on the implement probably jumped out, causing the hay caterpillar to plummet down the steep meadow some 100 meters. The machine finally came to a standstill on the municipal road below.
Swept away by the caterpillar
The farmer was dragged several meters by the hay caterpillar and suffered serious injuries. The emergency helicopter flew the 67-year-old to Innsbruck Hospital.
