Man dies in farming accident in southwestern Manitoba, RCMP say
A 66-year-old man has passed away following a farming accident in southwestern Manitoba, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The incident occurred in the rural municipality of Glenboro South Cypress, approximately 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg. The victim, who resided in the nearby town of Ninette, was reportedly struck by farming equipment.
The Blue Hills RCMP has initiated an investigation into the incident, alongside Manitoba Workplace Health and Safety officials. This tragedy follows another farming fatality in June, where a 68-year-old man was entangled in machinery at a commercial farming business. Other workplace deaths in Manitoba this year include fatalities caused by falling trees, roofing accidents, equipment falling into construction site holes, and being pulled into machinery at a factory.
