Fatal tractor accident in Chełmno County
Overview
On October 15, 2026, a fatal tractor accident occurred in Ostrów Świecki, Chełmno County, when an agricultural vehicle slid down a steep flood embankment near the Vistula River. The vehicle, operated by a 17-year-old, overturned and crushed the cabin, trapping both the driver and a 13-year-old passenger.
Emergency responders, including six fire brigade units and specialized technical rescue teams, utilized hydraulic tools, telehandlers, and excavators in an hour-long operation to lift the machine. Despite these efforts, both teenagers were pronounced dead at the scene. Police and prosecutors have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances of the accident and why the driver lost control.
