Falling concrete slab kills man

A man has died after becoming trapped underneath a concrete slab while working at a farm in Gloucestershire.

The 53-year-old, from Dorset, was pronounced dead at the scene in Moreton Valence on Tuesday.

He had been working on a slurry channel when the slab fell on him. He was released by colleagues, but attempts to revive him failed.

Police are working with the Health and Safety Executive and the coroner has been informed.

A second man, who was also trapped by the slab, was taken to hospital for treatment to a suspected broken arm.
