Farmer killed by out-of-control manure hose

A 50-year-old Tyrolean farmer died after he was hit on the head by a liquid manure hose. Police in Innerzehent in the province’s Innsbruck-Land district said today the man died before an ambulance team arrived.



They explained the man’s 79-year-old father pumped manure through the hose onto a steep field without being aware that his son, who was standing around 100 metres uphill, was unprepared for the manure avalanche.
