Colleagues desperately tried to save man crushed to death by machine

Colleagues ran to help a man after he was crushed to death by a faulty cherry picker.

Uldis Senkans, 30, was killed when he became trapped between the cherry picker and the steel beams of a building he was working on at the CEW Recycling Group site on Merton Steet, St Helens, on November 8, 2019.

He was found by co-workers at around 3.45pm, and remained pinned to the building for more than two hours before he was freed by emergency services and pronounced dead at 6.11pm.
