Two dead in farm accident
Pears
The farm produces fruit from its own crops
An investigation is under way into the deaths of two men found caught up in farm machinery in Berkshire.

The bodies of the two were found at a farm near Twyford.

Thames Valley Police said it was believed one man became trapped in the twine-winding machine.

When the second man came to his aid, he too was killed.

Post-mortem examinations are to be carried out when the bodies are freed.

Officials of the Health and Safety Executive are at the scene and the area has been cordoned off.

The men, in their 20s, were discovered on Satuday night at Loddon Park Farm.

The farm produces organic products including fruit juices.
