A man has died after his tractor crashed into an ‘electrical structure’ on farmland.  

The incident occurred in the Immingham area in Lincolnshire on Thursday, March 5th.

Up to 2,000 of Northern Powergrid’s customers were left without power on Thursday afternoon.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Humberside Police said: “Enquiries are underway into the death of a 32-year-old-man on farm premises in the Immingham area on Thursday, March 5th.”

“We are working with the HSE to establish the circumstances of the death.”
