A farm accident claimed the life of a 31-year-old man near Edenwold over the weekend.

RCMP say the man and his brother were using a tractor to pull out another tractor that was stuck in mud when the tow rope snapped.

A metal piece of the tow rope smashed through the windshield of one of the tractors, striking the man in the head.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released.

Edenwold is located about 25 kilometres northeast of Regina.
