Passers-by rushed to the scene after the lorry overturned, when trying to turn from Frindsbury Road, and attempted to clear rubble which had tipped out.

A huge emergency presence including police, paramedics and the fire service meant the road was shut in both directions for hours.

Following the tragedy, Andy's family and friends have paid tribute to him.
