It should be the bare minimum in safety that someone from the site (builders present) should be with the skip lorry driver to assist pedestrians pass by the lorry onto the main road. Better Streets for Enfield And of course, a large vehicle projecting onto footpath at the next properly.

NEW: Chicago police open fire on the driver of a wanted vehicle in Humboldt Park. According to police, the white Mercedes was possibly linked to a shooting that happened on Monday. When officers tried to stop the vehicle, the man started driving before allegedly hitting a woman and crashing into a CTA bus multiple times. "The vehicle struck an adult female pedestrian in the street and continued to flee... [He] struck the bus multiple times with the vehicle and struck an unmarked squad car," police said, adding that a gun was recovered from the vehicle. "As officers attempted to stop the vehicle and place the driver into custody, one officer discharged their service weapon, striking the offender." The man was hit in the chest and taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The family of the man claims he was getting food when he was "swarmed by officers" and says they thought police could have done more to de-escalate the situation.

WATCH | A ZRP officer was caught on camera in a heated confrontation with a Harare City Council officer this morning after the officer’s kombi was stopped for violating city by-laws. The incident happened at the corner of Robert Mugabe Road and Julius Nyerere Way. The kombi was carrying passengers without the required documentation. The kombi driver contacted the owner, who is a ZRP officer, and told him that City Council officers were about to impound the vehicle. The officer then reportedly used the kombi’s tracking system to remotely disable the vehicle in an attempt to prevent it from being driven to the impound yard. He later arrived at the scene and confronted the City Council officer, leading to a heated argument that was caught on camera. The kombi was eventually towed away and taken to Harare Central Stores.
