An industrial accident last June which left a Weston man and a colleague badly injured 'could have been avoided'.

That's according to the Health and Safety Executive, who've fined glass manufacturer Pilkington UK Limited two-hundred thousand pounds, after an overloaded trolley of glass panes fell on the two workers.

Nick Stone from Weston couldn't return to work for six months after suffering severe cuts, bruising and tendon damage, while Bristolian Ashley Emes had his leg broken and needed seventy-two stitches in his neck.
