Freak

TWO men have died while unloading glass panels from a lorry in a freak accident.

The horror unfolded in the car park of one of England’s oldest football clubs, Hitchin Town FC, on Saturday.

Emergency services were called at around 2pm, and paramedics sadly pronounced two men dead at the scene.

A third man was treated for minor injuries.

Hertfordshire Police confirmed the men had been “unloading glass panels from a lorry” when tragedy struck.

A spokesperson for the force confirmed: “Police attended an incident in the Hitchin Town Football Club car park at approximately 2pm on Saturday 6 September, following reports that two men were seriously injured.

“The men, who were unloading glass panels from a lorry parked in the overflow car park, were injured in the process.

“Two men sadly died at the scene. Their next of kins have been informed and are being supported by officers. A third man sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.

“The incident is currently under investigation and enquiries continue.”

Hitchin Town Football Club has been contacted for comment.

Hitchin is the childhood home of several Premier League names, including Kevin Phillips and Jack Wilshere.

The club are seventh in Southern League Division One Central and through to the second-round qualifying of the FA Cup.

A “DEVOTED” dad-of-two was crushed to death by a car in a freak accident, an inquest heard.

Mechanic Daniel Burton, 27, was repairing his partner’s dad’s Audi A3 when an axle stand slipped.

His neighbours desperately tried to free him after he was discovered trapped under the vehicle in Port Talbot, South Wales.

Tragically, Daniel couldn’t be saved, with his cause of death given as traumatic asphyxiation – also known as “crush asphyxiation”.

An inquest heard the dad-of-two’s partner Abbie had begged him not to do work on the car himself as it was a “big job” and dark outside.

But Daniel, who was about to pass his MOT testers course, decided to do the work on the Audi himself.

He was later spotted by a passer-by lying on his back with his torso and head under the car and his legs stuck out.

The onlooker thought the car looked unsafe but decided not to say anything as she did not think the mechanic would appreciate her opinion, the court heard.

Another woman then stopped to ask Daniel if he had seen her stolen car but when he did not respond she raised the alarm.

A neighbour rushed over and tried to use a jack to lift the car before emergency crews arrived.

Daniel was sadly declared dead at the scene in January this year.

Police launched a probe and discovered a jack and one axle stand lying on its side underneath the car.

Another axle stand was still in its box, the court was told.

Coroner Colin Phillips recorded a conclusion of accidental death at the inquest in Swansea.

He said qualified mechanic Daniel was working on his car when the axle slipped due to the sloped street.

After it tipped on its side, the mechanic was trapped underneath the vehicle.

Paying his condolences to Daniel’s family, Mr Phillips added: “He was very much loved and will be sorely missed and I hope you get a degree of closure now.”

A WOMAN has revealed that she now looks like a “circus freak” after getting illegal bum shots aged 22.

Courtney Barnes, 35, decided to go to extreme lengths to get a huge bum, after finding that working out at the gym made her bum smaller.

The influencer underwent three rounds of illegal bum shots at “black market pumping parties”, and now has a 59inch bum.

However, she now completely regrets the illegal procedures she got, and is determined to reverse them.

“At one point I wanted a bigger butt at any cost”, Courtney, from Miami, Florida told Truly.

“But now I realise it could cost me my life.”

“I may look like a circus freak, but I just want people to see me for me”, she said.

The surgery that Courtney needs to undergo to remove her bum injections is very complicated, and will set her back more than £14,000.

“There are a lot of risks involved, and I don’t even think doctors fully know the risk”, she said.

Due to the illegal injections, Courtney’s bum is now discoloured and saggy.

She is also constantly “stalked” by people fascinated by her behind, and receives a lot of hate online for her unusual physique.

Trolls have claimed her bum “looks like melted cheese”, and that she must have low self-esteem.

Courtney is now hoping to completely transform her image, and has even got herself a life coach.

“I’m ready to look like the girl next door”, she said.

As well as getting her bum injections removed, Courtney is aiming for a more conservative look, so as to be taken seriously as an author.

She has written a book about her story, to warn people about the dangers of cosmetic surgery.

“There are a lot of women who want cosmetic surgery because they do not like their bodies, and I just want to say ‘don’t do it.”

“I’ve made a lot of mistakes, and I’m looking to put all that behind me.”

Craig Bloomer, 54, died in a horror freak crash while on holiday with his family in Greece – his heartbroken daughter paid tribute to the ‘much-loved’ dad

A “beloved” British grandad tragically died on holiday in Greece following a freak accident.

Craig Bloomer, 54, had travelled to the idyllic island of Corfu, for a family holiday with his two daughters, their partners and kids, but sadly died after a moped incident on July 26. The “much-loved” grandad, from Wolverhampton, on this holiday was the “happiest” he had been since his wife Jane, 53, died two years ago from cancer, according to Craig’s daughter.

The 54-year-old tragically died after he lost control of the moped he was riding and crashed near the village of Agios Mattheos. It comes just days after another British tourist was found dead in a Greece hotel swimming pool.

Craig was rushed to hospital after the horror crash but was pronounced dead by doctors, according to BirminghamLive. His eldest daughter Rebecca, 32, said: “Our dad’s loss has left a massive hole in our lives.”

The grandad had also travelled with his youngest daughter Danni Perks, 27, but his tragic passing meant the family had to cut their holiday short, returning several days earlier than planned on Tuesday, on July 29.

Craig’s body was flown back to England on Wednesday, August 6, which has allowed the family to begin the ordeal of organising his funeral.

Since his passing, tributes have flooded in for Craig who ran The Cafe in the Low Hill area of Wolverhampton, alongside his two daughters.

Paying tribute to her dad, Rebecca said: “We lost our mum two years ago to cancer. Since then, he has been a bit down in the dumps.

“On holiday, it was the happiest I’d ever seen him, he had a new girlfriend. He was lovely and a proper family man. He liked motorbikes, old cars, going to the pub, snooker, drawing, he was really good at art.”

The heartbroken daughter added: “We own a cafe business which my dad started running after my mum died. The amount of tributes we’ve had off people for dad, saying how lovely he was and what a character he was.

“He was like marmite, you either loved him or hated him – and most people loved him.” Craig’s family has created a GoFundMe page to help with costs following his unexpected death – which has raised over £3,000 so far.

This comes after a mum was tragically killed by a stingray at sea in a horror “freak accident” while on holiday. Judy Kay Zagorski, 57, had been on a boat trip in the Florida Keys but the adventure ended in tragedy.

The mum was killed by a huge spotted eagle ray that jumped out of the water and struck her in the face.
