It is a shocking death, and the tragedy is compounded because it is sheer negligence. Material like this has to be secured to the vehicle. It has to be closed in, and if at the top, needs to be tied very well and tightly. Trucks and lorries must bear only as much material as can be carried in a proper manner.
