Arberg - An accident on a farm in Middle Franconia has had a happy ending.
A tractor had fallen into a manure pit with a three-year-old boy in the cab.
It is conceivable that the boy had turned a lever, the police said on Wednesday.
He was unharmed.
His 43-year-old father, who was able to jump to his son in the driver's cab before the fall, was slightly injured.
