Worker dies after being crushed by falling urinal in central London

A man has tragically died after being crushed by falling urinal whilst at work in London. Emergency services were quick to respond to the incident, with an air ambulance landing in the middle of Trafalgar Square.

Officials say the workman had been operating on a "telescopic urinal" at Cambridge Circus just after 1pm today when he suffered "crush injuries". The Mirror reports that the man was pronounced dead at the scene and his next of kin have been informed of his passing.

Telescopic urinals are designed to stop public urination and are stored beneath the pavement during the day. However, at night they are lifted up to street level for people visiting at night.
