A man has died after a tractor drove through fields and crashed into parked vehicles after a vintage car show. It is thought the incident occurred near Monks Lane in Fiddington, near Tewkesbury, at around 11.25pm on Saturday.
A passenger sustained serious injuries in the crash, with members of the public providing first aid at the scene. Officers attended and also provided first aid, but the man, aged in his 50s, died at the scene, Gloucestershire Police said. His next of kin and the coroner are aware.
A man in his 20s, who is believed to have been driving the tractor, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving while unfit through alcohol, the force said.
Organisers of the Severn Vale Vintage Club annual show, which took place at the location of the incident on Saturday, said the event would be closed on Sunday because of the incident.
According to its website, the show included “vehicles and machinery from yesteryear,” as well as arena displays, dog classes, and traditional country games.
