Rochdale driver died when car park barrier fell on truck

Sad news a driver has died after getting trapped in the cab while delivering in Oswestry.

My thoughts go to the drivers family, friends & colleagues.

Terrible, r.i.p. drive thoughts go out to your family. Just doing his job.

Terrible news. Condolences to the drivers family. RIP drive.

Terribly sad, I don’t understand what the report means when it said that he died when a foreign object entered his cab while he was driving through Oswestry?

RIP Driver.

A foreign object entered his cab ? All I can think of is a bullet or a scaffold pole, anyway poor sod. R.I.P drive. :cry:

RIP drive … so very sad

According to this article he’s believed to have come into contact with a car park barrier.

Very sad story :frowning:

Always sad to see that a driver has died R.I.P and sorry for his family

Sadly I knew the driver involved and feel so sorry for his family and also his work colleagues at the depot at Heywood.

He had just made a delivery to the store and was leaving when the right hand section of opened height barrier swung out and entered the cab.

Investigation under way

Absolutely tragic.

FFS…What a ridiculous way to meet your end. Poor bloke.

Good god how awful, an bit of a cliche but just goes to show it can all go wrong so very quickly.

If the pic below causes offence please delete it for me.

Booked in - shouldn’t cause offence as most of the news articles have printed the same.
I’m assuming the driver had keys and was responsible for opening and closing the barrier. Sad news.

RIP drive. Condolences to your loved ones
