On October 8, 2009, at approximately 10:15pm, Portage la Prairie RCMP and EMS responded to the scene of a farming accident in the RM of North Norfolk.
On arrival police learned that a 35-year-old male had been crushed between a combine and a 1999 Volvo semi-trailer. Further investigation revealed that the semi had become stuck on a grade, and in the process of trying to move it, the semi rolled forward, crushing the man between the combine and the front of the semi. The victim was freed by a co-worker and transported by ambulance to hospital with undetermined injuries.
