Today’s Slippery Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
A daughter watched in horror as her father was crushed to death by a roller as he prepared a cricket pitch on May 28, 1996.
Oxford University groundsman Maurice Honey, 55, left the sit-on roller running while he jumped off to remove debris from the wicket.
He slipped on the wet ground and his 26-year-old daughter Claire, who works as his assistant at Christ Church College, watched helplessly as the one-ton machine trundled over him.
She raised the alarm and then returned, cradling Mr Honey in her arms as he died.
A student said: “She’s in a terrible state. She was working with him at the time and saw it happen. There was nothing she could do.”
