A FARMER had a lucky escape when his tractor turned over onto its side.

Firefighters were called out to the incident on land near Hestercombe House and Gardens, just up the road from Cheddon Fitzpaine.

A Blue Watch crew helped the farmer out of his stricken vehicle after yesterday's callout.

Fortunately he seemed no worse for wear.

A spokesman for Taunton Fire Station said on social media: "The farmer was uninjured but slightly shaken."
