A man driving home last night (Thursday) ran his car off the road. Just 100 metres from home, he had the idea of going for his father's tractor to lift the car out of the ditch using the forks on the machine. Two friends came to help him but he unknowingly knocked one down and then ran over him with the tractor. Having returned the tractor to the garage he came back to find his car and discovered the unfortunate victim. The pompiers were unable to revive the 59 year old, who was pronounced dead.
The driver tested positive for alcohol, but no reading has been established. The man was arrested and will be interviewed today.
