Teenager crushed to death by a bull on a farm near Esperance

A teenager has been killed after she was crushed to death by a bull on a farm near Esperance.

Police say the 19-year-old woman was found unconscious by a co-worker on a farm in Dalyup, around 680 kilometres south-east of Perth, on Monday morning.

It is understood she was herding the bull when she was struck into a fence railing by the animal at around 11.30am.

The woman was taken to Esperance Hospital but died a short time later.

A police spokesman said Worksafe had been advised and were investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
