A BIN lorry driver has died after being crushed by his own truck when he tried to stop it rolling out of a car park.
The 58-year-old man was pinned against a wall after the lorry mounted a pavement at South Queensferry, near Edinburgh.
The truck came to rest hanging over the edge of the pier.
The man, who has not been formally named, was taken to hospital but died from his injuries.
