Tragic tractor accident in Niederkappel: farmer dies in the event of misfortune

In a tragic incident in Niederkappel, Rohrbach district, a 45-year-old woman and a 76-year-old man found her husband and son, a 44-year-old farmer on March 20, 2025, in a fallen tractor. The two were worried after they were unable to contact him from noon. In their search, they discovered the tractor and the almost fully loaded slurry cap with a weight of around 10,000 liters. They immediately alerted the emergency services, but all help came too late and the farmer had already died tragically.

According to the initial investigations, it can be assumed that the tube weight of the trailer during downhill driving led to the tractor tipping over, causing the farmer in the cab. The police have excluded external negligence, which could contribute to the calming down of the relatives. The incident inevitably throws a light on the dangers that exist when working with heavy agricultural machines, as can also be found in the popular Case IH tractors.
