Owner of garage where mechanic died after being crushed by truck in 'avoidable' tragedy is jailed
04.08.2023 - 18:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The owner of a garage where a much-loved mechanic was fatally crushed underneath a truck he was working on has been jailed.
Kenneth McCord, 55 known as Kenny, died after a flatbed truck he removing parts from fell on him. His employer Joseph Jones was today locked up for health and safety breaches following the "wholly avoidable" tragedy.
A court was told Mr Jones oversaw an "amateurish and shambolic operation" at JJ Tyres on Lodwick Street in Bootle, Merseyside and prioritised "cost-cutting at the expense of safety."

On the afternoon of July 16 2020, Mr McCord was on duty at the premises and was salvaging parts from a Ford Transit flatbed which was set to be scrapped, reports the Liverpool Echo.
A prop had initially been used in order to prop the vehicle up, but this was subsequently removed by a colleague and from then onwards it was only supported only by its hydraulics system, Liverpool Crown Court was told.
Lee Hughes, prosecuting, described how the truck then fell and pinned him between the flatbed and its chassis while he was carrying out tasks underneath. A forklift truck was used to free Mr McCord, who was initially sat up in a chair talking and was given water to drink.
He then needed to use the toilet, having to be carried to the bathroom by coworkers as he was unable to walk unaided. When fellow staff members subsequently checked on his wellbeing, he was found to have collapsed onto the floor.
An ambulance was then called to take him to Aintree Hospital, where Mr McCord - who was described as a "lovely man", a "nice fella" and a "good grafter" - underwent surgery, but died of his "significant internal injuries"
