A young woman was killed when she tried to climb on to a moving tractor on farmland in Aberdeenshire, an inquiry has heard.
Caroline Rennie, 21, fell and was killed by a power harrow in a field near Turiff in April 2021.
A fatal accident inquiry held at Banff Sheriff Court was told that Ms Rennie had tried to climb into a moving tractor without ensuring the driver had seen her, the BBC reported.
Muhammad Sadiq, for the Crown, said Ms Rennie died due to multiple injuries. No findings were being sought in terms of any defects or precautions, Mr Sadiq added.
Sheriff Robert Frazer said he would now prepare a written report, following the inquiry on Thursday 5 May. The judgement is expected within the next six weeks.
Ms Rennie’s family paid tribute to her at the time of the accident last year.
“We are devastated by the loss of Caroline who was so full of life, full of fun and much loved. She was a great friend to everyone who knew her and will be much missed,” the family said in a statement.
