Details of Event
Deceased appeared to have been pushing at the rear buffer of a truck to shift it under the screens, and to have been caught and crushed by some empty trucks gravitating forward behind him. His chest was severely crushed and he died four hours afterwards. No one interfered with the trucks except himself.
