Father in dumper truck tragedy

A WORKMAN crushed to death when his dumper truck overturned at a building site has been named by police.

Marcel Daisley was killed on Thursday at the site in Banbeath Road in Leven, Fife, where drinks company Diageo's new bottling hall is being built.

Police called to the scene tried to save the 37-year-old, known to friends and family as Jason, but he died from his injuries.

In a statement released by police, Mr Daisley's wife, Tracy, paid tribute to her husband on behalf of their two girls, Teigan, aged one, and Hayden, two.

She said: "We are devastated by the sudden loss of a wonderful, loving husband and father. I cannot put into words how we feel about Jason not being able to see our children grow up. Anybody who knew Jason will realise what a loss he is to us all."

Fife Constabulary has begun an investigation. A spokesman said: "A report was submitted today to the procurator fiscal at Kirkcaldy regarding his death."

A spokesman for construction firm Rok said: "Everyone at Rok would like to express deepest sympathy to the family of our colleague who died in this tragic accident. We have taken immediate steps to close the site and will be providing support to any member of the team affected by this sad news.

"We would like to thank the outstanding police officers who administered CPR. We will now be working with the police, procurator fiscal and Health and Safety Executive so the circumstances surrounding this tragic accident can be ascertained."
