Police probe after man dies in tractor incident
Police have launched an investigation into the death of a man following an incident involving a pedestrian and a tractor in Welton.
Officers were out just after 4pm on Monday, November 11, when the 38-year-old pedestrian suffered serious injuries in the car park area of Welton Quarry in Bluestone Health Road, Welton le Marsh.
He received treatment at the location but was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
The Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) is now leading the investigation as the incident took place in a car park which is used by the public so falls under policing jurisdiction.
At this stage officers are investigating the circumstances around the collision and are asking for help to understand more about the moments leading up to it.
“We are keen to view any footage of the tractor involved prior to the incident. This is a blue New Holland tractor towing a red ‘EVO’ muck spreader trailer, with the registration FY24 ZNA,” said a police spokesman.
“If you were you driving along the A1208 Bluestone Heath Road at Welton Le Marsh or the surrounding area between 3.30pm and 4.30pm and have a dashcam, please check your footage and see if you captured the vehicle and share that footage with us.”
