An inquest heard how Lee Wright was killed as he tried to stop his lorry rolling away. He was just 31 💔
Tributes have been paid to a steak bake-obsessed Greggs fan from Fleetwood who died instantly after being crushed under the wheels of his own lorry.
He suffered multiple severe crush injuries and died instantly. The tragic incident happened at around 1pm on September 20, 2021. Lee was a massive fan of Greggs as its baked goods would often keep him going while on the road. He celebrated his 30th birthday with a Greggs spread, and was even laid to rest with a steak bake wrapper by his side.
The brake system on the lorry itself was found to be in full working order, and was set to engage automatically when the engine was switched off. However, Lee had left the engine running and had not applied the parking brake properly, which led to the vehicle rolling away.
