Inquest held into death of man crushed by a fuel tank (From Braintree and Witham Times)

Braintree: Inquest held into death of man crushed by a fuel tank (From Braintree and Witham Times): Desperate attempts were made to save the life of a company boss who was crushed by a fuel tank.


Martin Channon, 54, owner and director of Modular Building Systems in Bocking, died on May 30 when a fuel tank containing 45 gallons of red diesel toppled off a forklift truck and fell on top of him.


An inquest heard today he had been trying to tilt the container with colleague, Vincent Hills, to empty it at the site in Convent Lane when it became unsteady on the forks of the truck.
