A 77-year-old man has died following a tractor crash in the Fintona area outside Omagh, Co Tyrone on Friday evening.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said the man involved in the single-vehicle crash was Dessie Sheridan, from Tattyreagh.
“We were advised around 6pm on Friday of a collision involving a red Massey Ferguson 185 tractor in the Tullycunny Road area,” Det Insp Dave Stewart, from the PSNI’s collision investigation unit, said.
Officers, along with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, attended.
