Flatbed lorry driver causes “significant injury” to jogger after driving with stabilising leg extended over pavement

An employee of the Port of Sheerness (pictured) had to have his leg amputated after being struck by a five-tonne clamp truck in a paper reel shed.

Paracetamol worth £30,000 was stolen from a lorry parked in a village near Barnsley while the driver was sleeping in the cab on Tuesday night (9 March).

A hunt for a refrigerated lorry on the A14 and M11 this week began after three men called the police to say they were suffocating in the back and struggling to breathe.
