Not quite the “lorry” reported, but still a reminder why load security is taken so seriously.
It’s not good that they’ve already named the victim, NOT named the driver who of course is up on serious charges, and bigged-up the “Lorry” to represent the entire news as being something to throw at the trucking community yet again. 
Very sad, and my heart goes out to the family. But how the hell can the press call a Transit a Lorry?

They’re ignorant and lazy, and the latter stops them making much headway dealing with the former.
It wasn’t a generator either, as far as I can tell from the photo on the Telegraph site, and if it was attached to a breaker then it wasn’t a pneumatic one.
It would be nice to think that the whole horrible story was just made-up wibble, but sadly I think that’s not the case.
How does fate choose for destruction - a female Warrant Officer apparently an expert in Mechanical/Electrical engineering - i.e. GENERATORS in any case?
If this is indeed just “very bad luck” - then Fate really takes the ■■■■ doesn’t it?
It was a hydraulic beaver pack , used to power hand held breakers pumps etc
