A 55-year-old man died on Friday evening at a place called La Rouillais, in Marsac-sur-Don, near Guéméné-Penfao, in Loire-Atlantique, firefighters report.
The agricultural vehicle accidentally overturned in a ditch, according to the first elements of the gendarmerie investigation.
The man, a 55-year-old carpenter residing in Marsac-sur-Don, died at the scene of the accident "despite the rapid intervention of the emergency services".
The thesis of discomfort is favored by the gendarmerie, according to
L'Eclaireur de Châteaubriant
.
"The person would have been unbalanced and would have gone under the tractor," said Captain Gilles Maurer, commander of the Châteaubriant gendarmerie company, to the weekly Loire.
