As bad as it is I hope this was an accident rather than something more sinister

[rusticgal]

Very tragic...especially as he had retired and returned to work to help during the pandemic...I wonder what it was that hit the Window screen.

[Kazanne]

Life is so random sometimes,here one minute gone the next and as rusti said he was retired and got back out there to help others, a selfless act that cost him his life.

This is a freak accident the rock was trapped between the wheels of a passing lorry in the opposite direction that had been loaded at a local quarry

My brother has seen this happen in the past but that time the rock didn’t hit anything
Coming out of the quarry you should go over a grid that is ment to dislodge rocks and then go through a wheel wash
