Farm grain silo collapse kills farmer and leaves son seriously injured

Emergency services have confirmed that a farmer has died after a grain silo collapsed. It's understood the man's son was also seriously injured in the incident at the farm in Aberhosan on Friday night.

The BBC has reported that Iwan Evans died from his injuries and his son Dafydd, 42, remains in Royal Stoke University Hospital with "serious injuries".

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said crews from five stations were sent to attend the collapsed grain silo just after 5pm on Friday. A spokesman for the service said: "Crews from Machynlleth, Aberystwyth, Llanidloes, Pontardawe, and Carmarthen were called to a collapsed grain silo at a farm in Aberhosan. The Police and Ambulance Service were also in attendance."
