TWO men have died after falling into an industrial slurry tank on a farm in Aston by Budworth.
At around 12.20pm on Wednesday, August 26, emergency services were called to reports of an industrial incident at a farm on Cann Lane, near its junction with Budworth Road.
Police, the air ambulance, paramedics, and the fire service went to the farm where they found two men had fallen into an industrial sized slurry tank.
