Four people have died after a tipper truck went out of control in Bath, South West England today.
According to various reports this evening, the truck loaded with gravel careered down a steep hill, crashing into pedestrians and vehicles.
Witnesses said that it looked as though the truck experienced a brake failure and then gathered speed as the driver attempted to bring it under control.
A police spokesman said: “The collision happened in Lansdown Lane, Upper Weston, Bath, at just after 4pm.
“A tipper truck carrying aggregate was in collision with a number of vehicles and two pedestrians as it travelled down the hill. Early witness accounts suggest that the driver was trying to avert an accident.
“Four people have died at the scene and there are several people injured. Casualties are being taken to the Royal United Hospital in Bath and Southmead Hospital in Bristol.”
