Farmer dies after quad bike rollover

A dairy farmer has died after a quad bike rollover on a property in Cudgewa, north-east Victoria, yesterday.

It is understood the 72-year-old was herding cows on the quad bike when he lost control and became trapped underneath the vehicle about 2:30pm.

WorkSafe investigators responded and will determine whether further action is required.

The death is the 14th confirmed workplace fatality and the fifth in agriculture in 2026. There were 27 work-related deaths at the same time last year.
