Fatal accident in a field - Boy hit by wheel loader - circumstances still unclear
Seven weeks after the death of a 13-year-old on a field in Unterfranken, investigators still have no clear understanding of how the accident occurred. "It is difficult to clarify the circumstances," said a police spokesperson in Würzburg. "We are currently not conducting any investigations against any suspects."
The boy was run over and fatally injured by a roto-tiller on Pfingstmontag (Easter Monday) in Maßbach (Bad Kissingen district) on a field. A 41-year-old had parked the vehicle beforehand. How the vehicle ended up rolling, is unknown. It is also unclear whether the 13-year-old was partially or fully run over by the vehicle - this could not be determined by the forensic medical examiner, said the police spokesperson.
Initially, investigations were being conducted against the man for negligent manslaughter. However, he is no longer being designated as a suspect. The man was on the field with his son and the later killed friend of his son.
- The fatal accident occurred in the picturesque region of Lower Franconia, specifically in Maßbach, which is part of the Bad Kissingen district.
- Despite the tragic incident involving a roto-tiller in Bavaria, the authorities have not been able to clarify the exact circumstances leading to the accident.
- The vehicle involved in the accident, a roto-tiller, was parked by a 41-year-old on the field where the fatal incident occurred in Unterfranken.
- Despite initial investigations, the 41-year-old is no longer considered a suspect in the circumstance surrounding the fatal accident that led to the death of a 13-year-old in Würzburg.
- The accidents on farms, such as the one in Lower Franconia, highlight the need for increased safety measures and awareness in the agricultural sector.
