Winery worker killed in vineyard accident
A French winery worker has died after being run over by a harvesting machine.
It is understood the man fell beneath the wheel of a harvesting machine similar to the one pictured.
The 54 year-old male died instantly yesterday morning at Le Flaudrie in the municipality of Réparsac in France’s south-west, reported Sud-Ouest.
The harvesting machine had just finished picking a row of vines and had emptied its load when the driver of the vehicle started to head back into the vineyard.
It is believed the man, busy near the end of the row, slipped and passed under the wheels of the harvester.
