Today's @EveningStandard splash: https://t.co/0jL6ViLWGS— Ross Lydall (@RossLydall) July 5, 2019
London Concrete – part of Aggregate Industries – was quoted in the Evening Standard as saying:
It is with deep regret that we can confirm a vehicle owned and driven by a self-employed franchise haulier was involved in a fatal collision with a cyclist. Our sincerest sympathies go out to the family of the deceased. London Concrete are currently working closely with the authorities to fully investigate the incident.
Thats exactly what they're doing, absolving responsibility, despite a LondonConcrete liveried vehicle, driving on behalf of LondonConcrete by a driver vetted by LondonConcrete, dispatched by LondonConcrete, paid by LondonConcrete, on a route likely selected by LondonConcrete.— Jess Pants (@Janderso549) July 5, 2019
@AggregateUK whomever came out with that statement, and whomever approved it really should lead courses in Corporate Tone-Deafness and the Art of Not-Giving-A-F***— Jess Pants (@Janderso549) July 5, 2019
The company which owns London Concrete is @AggregateUK. No mention on SM of the tragedy with one of your trucks in #Wandsworth today. And no apology for the most crass “nothing-to-do-with-us, the driver was self employed” ‘statement’ on awful death of cyclist. Appalling.— Dan Whitworth (@bbcdanw) July 5, 2019
Yesterday a young lady was killed on Wandsworth Road by a cement truck from London Concrete. Three and a half years ago one of their lorries was involved in another serious collision with a cyclist on the same road.https://t.co/BoFrSOdEyA https://t.co/6MfZOIdaCS— 4 Chords No Net (@4ChordsNoNet) July 5, 2019
