Person down Oval 29/06/09

Dennis Putz was driving a tipper lorry operated by Thames Materials Ltd, a west London waste management company which has an appalling record of breaking safety regulations and poor maintenance of its vehicles. In March 1999 the Traffic Commissioner reduced its licence to only 7 vehicles.

Thames Materials Ltd failed several inspections, the company and its drivers had many convictions. In 2002 the Traffic Commissioner tried to revoke its licence to operate lorries, this was overturned on appeal.
