Tragic Accident at Upper Lode Lock |
| Tragically a
diver, who was working on maintenance work at Upper Lode Lock last week, became
trapped underwater as he worked on the lock gate. There were two divers working in the lock when suddenly a temporary dam appeared to collapse. He was trapped for 15 minutes before being released by a rescue team. A medical team did revive him, but sadly he later died. It is believed the unnamed diver came from Hampshire. Inquiries continue into the cause of the accident. |
