A 70-year-old man has been killed in a tractor accident in a vineyard at Willunga South in South Australia.
Emergency services were called to a vineyard on Newman Close on Saturday morning but the man died at the scene.
The victim was identified as former Supreme Court Justice Malcolm Blue.
He retired only last month after a legal career spanning 47 years.
“Having achieved so much during a long and distinguished legal career, Malcolm was looking forward to spending more time with his family on the property,” the family said in a statement to The Advertiser.
“His love for the land was inspired by his parents, who had owned farms at Myponga and the South East.”
No other details about the accident are available.
SafeWork SA is investigating the circumstances surrounding Mr Blue’s death.
Police are preparing a report for the Coroner.
