A man has died after emergency services failed to dig him out from a silo containing 100 tonnes of grain.
The accident happened in Biala Gora in the northern Ilawa county. It is thought that the bottom of the silo was damaged, not allowing for the 43-year-old victim to escape.
Despite attempts from fire rescuers to dig the man out with spades, as well as employing a couple of diggers, the man did by the time they reached him.
Police and prosecutors are looking into the causes of the death. (jb)
