FORFAR MAN IS TRACTOR TRAGEDY VICTIM
A 70-year-old farm work worker from the Forfar area was killed in a tragic accident on land in Perthshire on Monday evening.
Neil Ambercromby was spreading seed in a field in the Pitlowie area of Glencarse at around 5.15 pm when his tractor tumbled down a steep hill.
Fire crews from Perth fought to free Mr Abercromby from the wreckage but paramedics pronounced him dead on arrival.
The incident is being treated as an industrial accident.
A joint investigation by Tayside Police and the Health and Safety Executive is taking place and, as in all sudden deaths, a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
