Father dies and son seriously injured in farm incident

A man has died and another has been seriously injured in an incident at a farm in Powys. Police and investigators were called to the farm in Aberhosan on Friday night.

A spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) confirmed they were investigating the incident that happened at Cleiriau Isaf Farm. Dyfed-Powys Police are leading the investigation and will be assisted by the HSE. The spokesman said: "We can confirm that we were called to a farm in Aberhosan on Friday night and an investigation is under way. We are working with Dyfed-Powys Police."

It is understood that a father and son were involved in the accident. The BBC has reported that Iwan Evans died from his injuries and his son Dafydd was seriously injured.

A concert by Côr Meibion Machynlleth Male Voice Choir was cancelled on Saturday night as a mark of respect. It has been reported that Dafydd is a member. Aled Griffiths, a fellow choir member and an agent for the National Farmers' Union, told the BBC: "This is an extremely sad situation, and the whole area is in shock."

Dyfed-Powys Police and the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust were contacted for comment.
