28-year-old killed in tractor fall at Hauser Kaibling

Detailed course of the accident

The victim was only discovered later. The emergency services called to the scene could only confirm the death of the 28-year-old at the accident site. An emergency doctor was called in, but resuscitation was unsuccessful.

The emergency services secured the accident site and began the police investigations. To clarify the exact sequence of events, an expert was also consulted, as is customary in occupational accidents involving agricultural vehicles. Investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing.

Risks on steep terrain

Hauser Kaibling is known as a mountain region with partly steep meadows and alpine pastures where agricultural vehicles are regularly in use. The terrain places special demands on safety when operating heavy machinery, particularly on wet or softened ground.

The police pointed out that tractors have repeatedly slid on steep terrain in the region. Comparable incidents had occurred in recent weeks, although without fatal consequences. A statistical accumulation is being examined.

Investigations and next steps

Support was arranged for the bereaved family. The responsible authorities expressed their condolences to the family members, friends and colleagues of the 28-year-old. The man's employer was also informed of the incident.

The public prosecutor's office is examining whether third-party negligence is involved or whether this is a pure occupational accident. Until the investigations are completed, the exact cause of the fall remains open.
