Terrible accident in London: a man died while working on a public toilet.
The man was allegedly crushed early Friday afternoon at Cambridge Circus in central London and died at the scene of the accident, the London police said on Twitter. Retractable or so-called telescopic urinals are lowered into the ground during the day and are only available to passers-by at night.

The fire brigade said they had been alerted because of a person trapped below the road. An ambulance, a rescue helicopter and firefighters had been used in vain to save the seriously injured man, police said.
25 firefighters were deployed, who used a winch, among other things. The rescue workers could only have determined the death of the man.
