The man had been working alone near a parked cattle truck on a private property when the vehicle rolled on top of him, causing severe crushing injuries.

A police spokesman said the man managed to phone for assistance and ambulance and police crews attended the scene.

Police are now investigating the incident and are preparing a report for the Coroner.
