No-one hurt in Tuesday's freak accident

ABERDEEN-based engineering and construction company, SubSea7, said
today that it would assist police and the Health and Safety Executive
in the investigation into an accident at its Far North fabrication yard
at Wester, in Caithness.
The freak accident, on Tuesday, involved a collision between a
forklift carry massive steel pipes and a Land Rover. The pipes crashed
through the windscreen of the Land Rover, narrowly missing the driver
and four female occupants who were taken to hospital but not detained.
The drivers of both vehicles were unhurt.
It is thought to be the first accident at the long-established
north-east coast yard which fabricates pipe bundles for offshore oil
rigs.
