Truck driver dies on Unst

SHETLAND police and the Health and Safety Executive are carrying out an investigation after a man died on Saturday morning while he was unloading a truck on the Shetland island of Unst.

The man, who worked for Robert Henderson haulage contractors, was offloading a delivery at the Unst Shellfish mussel factory, at Ordale, Baltasound, using a forklift when he died.

The police have not named the man, who is understood to have recently moved to Unst with his young family. They said there were no suspicious circumstances and a report is to be sent to the procurator fiscal.
