A young boy who was changing out of his boots in a car park after a rugby match has been crushed to death in a freak accident.
Alfie Tollett had just watched his brother play in a match at his local club, a coroner heard. The seven-year-old was putting his shoes back on when he got wedged between two cars.
As reported by the Mirror, a statement at the opening of his inquest on behalf of the coroner Ian Arrow outlined the freak incident that led to Alfie's death in Plymouth, Devon. It revealed the fatal crush was caused when an electric vehicle had been struggling to park and "shunted" another parked car at Plymstock Albion Oaks Rugby Club into him.
