An HGV driver was killed at a waste site in Cambridgeshire after the driver of a loading shovel reversed into him. Mark Nyland, 34, was hit by the tracked loader as he was closing the doors at the rear of his HGV at the Milton Landfill Site, on 5 January 2012. The loader driver, Kenneth Miller, was handed a suspended prison sentence at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on 8 August after an HSE investigation into the incident. The court heard that Miller, who was an employee of Waste Recycling Group Ltd (WRG Ltd) at the time of the incident, had been helping Mr Nyland dump the waste from his trailer. Mr Miller towed the trailer to a 'safe area' so that Mr Nyland could sweep out the back and tail-bar area of his HGV.
