Hearing into fatal mobile crane firm to be held
A hearing in a haulage company whose mobile crane was associated with a collision when a mother and her two children died might be held in a few days.
Ann Copeland, 45, and daughters Ciara, seven, and Niamh, 10, from Johnshaven, died after their car skidded about the A92 in Aberdeenshire in January 2008.
Scotland’s Traffic Commissioner holds the hearing into Ellon-based William Whyte Cargo Handling Ltd.
Barry Copeland, who lost his wife and daughters, welcomed the investigation.
A fatal accident inquiry heard hydraulic oil had leaked from the crane.
He wants MOTs on mobile cranes to become compulsory.
He was not too long ago honoured for his work to improve mobile crane safety, when the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health awarded him certificates of merit.
