Nagpur: In a freak mishap, driver of a tractor was crushed to death under his own tractor in Hudkeshwar police jurisdiction on Tuesday evening.
The deceased has been identified as Rahul Bhaskar Jivankar (23), resident of Khalasana, Tehsil Kuhi, district Nagpur.
On Tuesday around 5.30 pm, Rahul was returning home on his tractor (MH-49/C 4041) after finishing work in Hudkeshwar. Midway near Suryodaya College, Umred Road, his tractor got stuck in mud on the stretch of a kaccha road (under construction).
