A MAN HAS DIED following a crash on the airfield at London’s Heathrow Airport this morning.
Two members of airport staff who were operating vehicles were involved in the collision which took place shortly after 6am.
One of the men, who was in his 40s, was hospitalised with serious injuries where he later died.
Another man was treated at the scene for a suspected broken shoulder.
“We can confirm that following a serious accident involving two vehicles on our airfield, an airport colleague has passed away,” a spokesperson for the airport said in a statement.
Our deepest condolences go to the family and friends affected by this accident. We will be fully cooperating with the Police in the investigation which will follow.
The spokesperson added that they are working to minimise delays for passengers.
The Met Police said the Health and Safety Executive have been notified and there have been no arrests. A post-mortem will take place in due course.
With the price skyrocketing you’d think they’d spend an extra few pence on Quality control.
Thanks for highlighting this, with allergies becoming more prevalent it helps with those of us who have kids carrying epi-pens that people are getting more aware of the importance of them
Might be an idea to let pharmacists give epi-pens without prescription to people dying for the lack of them. The refusal of one gave rise to the death of a young lady not so long ago.
Epipen last 20 monthes after production date, thanks for reporting, but going back have you thought why the issue is discovered/reported nearly 17 month after the lot (expiring on may 2017) was produced?
