A 'dedicated' Northumberland animal lover who lived for the goats in her care died in a horrific farm accident after her employers failed to protect her.
Janet McDonald, 53, had worked at the Yorkshire Dairy Goats farm for 30 years, Hull Live reports. On August 1, 2018, she died after being struck by a reversing telehandler, a forklift-like piece of farm machinery.
Her employer, based at St Helen's Farm, Seaton Ross, in East Yorkshire, this month admitted failing to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees from risks caused by the machine. The company is due to be sentenced at Hull Crown Court.
