Police say that at 6.19pm on Tuesday, April 29 (yesterday) an incident took place on Glenholt Road, Plymouth involving a stationary Landrover Defender with a two axle flatbed trailer attached, which was carrying a Volkswagon Transporter Van.
A 27 year old male from the Hull area had collected the Volkswagon Transporter van from an address in Glenholt Road and was in the process of loading it onto the trailer when an incident occurred causing the male to be crushed between the vehicles.
