A tractor driver has died after his vehicle collided with an electricity pylon and caught fire in a field near Chichester.
Emergency services were called to the scene off Salthill Road at 11.30am on Thursday (May 18).
A spokesperson for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service said:
“Joint Fire Control mobilised fire engines from Bognor Regis and Chichester to the scene. Paramedics from the South East Coast Ambulance Service and Sussex Police were also in attendance.”
An air ambulance landed close by, but sadly the man, in his 40s, was declared dead at the scene.
The Health and Safety Executive will lead the enquiry into the man's death.
