Police remain at the scene of a 'freak accident' which saw two men die after unloading glass panels from a lorry.

A police van, tape and two ambulance back boards can be seen close to a Martello Transport lorry at land adjacent to Hitchin Town FC overflow car park in Herts.

The lorry, with a named numberplate in the windscreen reading 'Antonio', is also still parked at the site several days on.

Construction material including wooden planks can also be seen near by close to a police van and car.

Part of the overflow car park, owned by the club, is believed to be rented with plans to turn it into a padel board court and one local said it was a 'freak accident'.

Mark Burke, from Hitchin Town FC, said: "This is a very sad and tragic accident that resulted in the fatality of two people".

"We would like to wish our condolences to the families".
