On Saturday, a French teenager was tragically crushed to death inside a rubbish collection truck in Luxembourg after he had hidden inside a waste bin, according to police reports.
Refuse workers only realized the presence of the 17-year-old when he shouted as they were emptying the bin into the truck’s back early that morning. Unfortunately, he was already caught in the crushing mechanism by that point.
“He cried out, but it was already too late,” stated a spokeswoman for the Luxembourg police on Monday.
The young man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was pronounced dead at the scene in the city of Luxembourg.
An investigation has been launched by the police.
