This is the first picture of a 14-year-old boy who was crushed to death in a horrific farm accident - as his grief-stricken mother revealed he was ‘working too hard’ when tragedy struck.

Harry Moss, from Birmingham, was fatally injured by machinery on a farm in Malvern, Worcestershire, on Thursday morning.

A man was also hurt and taken to hospital, though his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.

Harry’s heartbroken mum, Hollie Mcmurray, 35, said her ‘world has fallen apart’ in a devastating Facebook tribute.

She wrote: ‘My boy forever loved. My first born. My world has fallen apart. Fly high my homing pigeon.

Harry you did me so proud but boy you was 14 working too hard! Farmer forever. I love you so much.’

Family friend Maggie Murrihy launched a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of his funeral.

She wrote: ‘As everyone is aware Harry passed away under tragic circumstances. Harry Moss was the most amazing teenager who had his whole life ahead of him.

‘It was tragically taken at just the young age of 14, him being the eldest sibling of the family.

‘He was an amazing big brother and son and lived his life like a little homing pigeon - if he left home it was either to do what he loved, farming or fishing.

‘No parent should have to go through this unimaginable pain or receive this kind of news, and I know nothing can help with the pain. I’m hoping this will ease any financial burdens regarding his passing and funeral costs.

‘Any help will be much appreciated.

‘Harry Moss was the best and will be given the best send off. Let's as a community make this happen!’

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has been informed, and an investigation is now underway in conjunction with West Mercia Police.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: ‘We were called to an incident at an address off Blackmore Park Road in Malvern, Worcestershire at 8.50am.

‘We sent two ambulances, three paramedic officers, a BASICS emergency doctor and the Midlands Air Ambulances from Cosford and Strensham to the scene.

‘On arrival, crews found a teenage boy in a critical condition and immediately began administering advanced life support.

‘Sadly, despite best efforts, nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased at the scene.

‘A man was also treated by crews for serious injuries and conveyed under emergency driving conditions to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.’

A spokesperson for the HSE added: ‘We have visited the site and are working with West Mercia Police with their investigation.’
