A three-year-old boy has died after a collision with a tractor on a farm in Bury
Police were called to the scene in Tottington shortly before 12.45pm after a vehicle carrying a "seriously injured child" signalled a passing ambulance to stop.
Officers attended and the boy was tragically pronounced dead by paramedics before he could be taken to hospital, greater Manchester Police said. Detectives in Bury are investigating the death, with ongoing enquiries having already established that the boy had suffered his critical injuries following a collision with a tractor on farmland off Bentley Hall Road.
The driver of the tractor is assisting the force with enquiries and a cordon remains in place at the farm while investigators work to establish the circumstances. Specialist officers are supporting the family of the boy, with the force requesting their privacy be respected.
