Human fireball horror By Nick Sharpe, South Wales Echo, UK
The inquest heard that the father of two's lorry crashed down a steep slag heap at Sims Metal on Rover Way, Cardiff, on April 25, 2002. He had been transporting molten slag from a furnace at the ASW steelworks.
His twin brother, Selwyn Parsons, who had been driving the same lorry on an earlier shift said he had filled the tank with fuel that morning but that the cap was loose.
He told the inquest: 'You can get a bit of diesel coming out because it is loose. It is loose because the machines are old.'
Colin Wakeham, who works for the company that makes the Heathfield H33 lorry, said it had been 'grossly overloaded'.
The inquest heard that the total weight was probably 15 per cent higher than recommended.------------------------------------------- posted 7:30 AM :: reference link ::
