Australian Worker Killed,  Crushed To Death.
Oct 24th, 2010 at 12:07pm
 
Colleagues have found a swimming pool contractor crushed to death under a truck in the Adelaide Hills.

Police said the man, 45, from Clarendon was part of a team installing a swimming pool at a home in Strempel Avenue at Hahndorf.

He left his colleagues just after 10:00am ACDT to try to repair a truck in the street.

After they noticed he had been gone about 20 minutes, they investigated and found him crushed under the tray of the truck.

Senior Sergeant Paul Miller from Mount Barker police said the man had been doing repairs under the rear tray.

"Something's gone wrong and the tray has lowered down and pinned him between the tray and the chassis," he said.

Ambulance officers pronounced the man dead when they arrived at the premises.

SafeWork SA officers also went to the scene to investigate.

I doubt the Greens will care either...

After all he was working on an evil fossil fueled vehicle, and he built swimming pools (that diverts water from the rivers)

Perhaps if you'd said " know a brother who died when 2 young brothers were chasing on a ride on and one fell over...."

Instead of " know a brother who died when 2 young boys were chasing on a ride on and one fell over.... "

'Young boys' doesn't imply that they were related... and using 'brother sounds similar to the colloquial term 'brother' used by African-Americans and Indigenous Australians to define someone who, while unrelated, is of the same racial group....
