Waste-management giant Veolia Environmental Services must pay more than ￡320,000 in penalties following a vehicle collision that killed a worker who was collecting litter on a busy road. On 2 March 2007, agency worker Damian Griffiths, 20, was working on a grass verge on the A228 in East Peckham, Kent. An employee of Veolia was driving a company caged vehicle alongside him, and Mr Griffiths was placing the rubbish inside the cage. An LGV travelling in the same direction collided with the rear of the caged vehicle, shunting it into Mr Griffiths before the Veolia vehicle spun and rolled into a ditch.
