A 67-year-old man died in a workplace accident near Wittenburg on Friday morning. The incident took place in Zühr, where the victim was crushed by a trailer during maintenance work. Emergency services rushed to the scene but could not save him. The accident happened as the man carried out repairs on the trailer. Its hydraulic system suddenly failed, causing the heavy structure to tip over and trap him underneath. Rescue teams arrived quickly but found the injuries too severe to treat.
Authorities have now launched an investigation into the incident. They will examine the equipment and working conditions to determine how the failure occurred.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene despite immediate medical attention. The investigation will clarify whether safety measures were followed and what led to the hydraulic failure. Results are expected in the coming weeks.
