A man has been crushed by a tractor at a farm in Helston.
The 54-year-old man suffered serious head injuries after the tractor ran over his head at Nansloe Farm.
He is believed to have stopped the tractor to open a gate when it rolled onto him, at just after 3.30pm.
The air ambulance was called and airlifted the man to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro. He was described by a police spokesman as conscious and talking, but with injuries that were potentially life-threatening and “almost certainly life-changing.”
The Health and Safety Executive have been informed.
