Tractor hits girls at children's birthday party: guests were allowed to ride on Bulldog

Children's birthday parties, among other things, are organized at the adventure farm.

So did two events last Sunday.

A ride in an old tractor is one of the attractions for the children.

At around 12:30 p.m., the farmer was out and about in the courtyard of the property with the Bulldog.

The child ran after the tractor, overtook him and ran into the tires, Reitsberger describes the incident.

He still braked.

Accident at Erlebnishof: tractor tire on the child's thigh

The police see it the same way.

A tire of the tractor was briefly on the girl's thigh or hip area.

The driver immediately reversed when he noticed the collision.

"Fortunately, a father from the birthday group reacted quickly and provided first aid," says Reitsberger.

"I'm very grateful for that."

Other children were sitting on the tractor.

"Nothing happened to them." Nothing like this had ever happened to him, according to the farmer.

"I've had driving experience for 63 years." He was driving the Eicher at around ten kilometers per hour.

Technically, the vehicle is in good condition.

"It's regularly at the TÜV." The brakes were fine.

After the accident, visitors to the farm asked him not to stop driving the tractor, says Reitsberger.

"I'll be even more careful in the future." According to the police, Reitsberger was reported for negligent bodily harm.
