Lindetal (dpa / mv) - A man was killed in an accident while gardening in the municipality of Lindetal (Mecklenburg Lake District). As a police spokeswoman said on Thursday, it is the 32-year-old driver of a small tractor. The casualty from the region wanted to clear a garden area on Thursday.
But there was a metal container in the ground. The driver pulled a chain around the buried metal container and attached it to the tractor to pull the container out of the ground. During the attempt, the vehicle was pulled up with the front axle and fell backwards, so that the man got under the machine. He was fatally injured.
An emergency doctor could only determine death. The criminal police launched a death investigation to investigate the circumstances more closely. The small tractor had no rollover protection, like some agricultural machines.
