40 FEET CONTAINER FALLS ON CAR ON ANTHONY BRIDGE ; 3 DEAD



At about 7pm on Friday,August 3,2012 a 40 feet container fell off
a trailer and landed on top of a Toyota Avalon beside it.The driver
and another occupant of the Toyota Avalon died instantly when
the container crushed their car. The man in the picture did not
die right away but was trapped inside the car for more than one
hour.Nobody could help him as there was no crane to lift the
container from the car.The man later died after calling for help
for more than one hour.

It took four hours before a crane arrived to lift the container 
away from the car.These deaths are needless, it is always the
people in the cars that die as a result of the recklessness of the
operators of the trailers carrying containers without any form
of harness to keep these containers from falling off.
