Most of the HGV fatalities from the London construction boom 10+ years ago were in Central and Inner London

There are huge developments near Willesden at the moment. The new Old Oak Station and HS2 work is on the scale of the Paddington Basin development. Hence lots of HGVs.

The lack of reporting of these deaths is terrible.

Rip rider.

You're right to remind us of the construction in the area. I wonder if any such connection will be reported.

It's especially distressing as the Direct Vision Standard came in on the 1st March:

If there are follow-up stories, there may be information on how this vehicle was equipped.
