A BREAD delivery driver was left with a fractured leg after being crushed by a pallet in an accident at a Trowbridge cash-and-carry warehouse.
The driver, from Newport in Gwent, fractured his lower right leg when a pallet tumbled off his lorry and pinned him to the ground.
The accident happened as the driver was making a delivery of bread to Bookers Cash and Carry on the Canal Road Industrial Estate in Trowbridge on Friday.
Workers at the warehouse helped free the victim and he was taken to the Royal United Hospital in Bath for treatment.
Health and Safety officers have launched an investigation into the accident and will produce a full report.
A spokesman for Bookers Cash and Carry said: "We take matters of safety very seriously and have co-operated with the police and Environmental Health Office.
"We are unable to comment on individual incidents."
