The driver of a tractor that overturned and fell into a ditch on a farm near the RM-B19 Cieza-Calasparra main road, in the municipality of Cieza, has been taken to hospital following the incident on Thursday morning (September 9).
The 1-1-2 Emergency Services call centre was notified just after mid-day by the son of the injured man, informing them that his father was trapped beneath the tractor he had been driving, which had overturned and rolled down into a ditch.
Local police patrols, ambulances and health personnel from the Emergencies and Health Management 061 service and firefighters from the Murcia Regional Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium (CEIS) were mobilized to the site.
After being rescued by the firefighters, the injured man (male, 60 years old) was treated and stabilised by the health personnel, who transferred him to the "Lorenzo Guirao" Regional Hospital of la Vega, in Cieza with serious injuries.
