Farmer Lost Her Life During Haymaking in Tyrol

A 78-year-old farmer was fatally injured on Monday afternoon during hay work in the barn of her farm in Vals in Tyrol (Innsbruck-Land district). The woman was standing behind a crane operated by her 82-year-old husband. Suddenly, the crane jerked backward and pushed the farmer out of the barn, the police reported. The 78-year-old then fell about four meters onto the driveway below. She died on the spot.

Resuscitation attempts failed

Resuscitation attempts by the daughter-in-law, house guests, and an emergency doctor were unsuccessful. The farmer had been using the hay crane in the barn on the first floor of the farmhouse to transport straw to the upper floor. His wife was standing behind the vehicle to cut open and store the hay bales.
