Truck crushed at Felixstowe deemed 'incorrectly parked'

摘要

Hauliers driving around the Port of Felixstowe are to receive enhanced training aids after an "incorrectly parked" truck was crushed by a container in April, trapping the driver inside. An investigation by port authorities has found that the lorry, which was crushed by a 40ft container lowered by crane onto the cab roof in April, should not have been parked at the spot and could not be seen by the crane operator. The incident, which occurred on 23 April, led to fire crews being called to cut the driver free of the badly crushed cab. He was later discharged from hospital.
