Gasparillo mechanic dies after truck chassis falls on him

A Gasparillo mechanic died at hospital on October 6 after the chassis of a truck he was working on fell on him.

Police said they were told Garvin Mungroo was working under a dump truck in an open yard at Bull Fabricators at Thompson Street, Gasparillo, when its chassis fell on him around 12.30 pm.

On seeing this, a coworker used a forklift to lift the chassis off Mungroo and remove him from under the truck.

Mungroo was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital, where he died around 1.45 pm.
