Police, fire and ambulance rushed to the scene of an incident involving a tractor near Timaru Rd in Canterbury.
The man who died when his tractor rolled at a rural property in Waimate late last month has been named.
Police confirmed yesterday he was Tracey Royston Kaynes (60), of Waimate.
Last week, Waimate Mayor Craig Rowley said Kaynes, a courier driver, was well-known around the South Canterbury township.
"He
was fantastic. He was a nice guy who would do anything for you. He was our courier driver here. It was a shock to hear such an accident had occurred. We used to talk to him pretty much daily.
"Our condolences go out to the family of the gentleman that was killed. It's a very upsetting time for them. It's a shocking accident and unfortunately they are all a bit too common, these farm accidents we see about the place."
