A man in his 80s has died in a farm accident in Pomeroy.

He is reported to have been working in a field at the time of the accident and may have been hit by a tractor.

The incident happened on the Loughnamarve Road in the Lime Hill area of Pomeroy.

The Health and Safety Executive are investigating the accident.

Local Sinn Fein councillor Cathal Mallaghan said: "This has rocked the entire farming community in Pomeroy.

"This is a busy time of year for farmers trying to prepare for the winter and they are working long hours.

"It's very sad, something you don't want to hear, but farming is a dangerous business and accidents can happen."
