Police name worker killed in coach crash

A migrant worker killed in a horrific coach crash has been named by police.

Piotr Wolski, 26, from Poland died on Monday after the coach he was in plunged down a steep embankment in driving rain in the village of Alton, Staffordshire, landing in a garden 15ft below the road.

The coach, from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, was carrying a party of 70 foreign farm workers home after a day out at Alton Towers theme park when it crashed shortly before 6pm.

Mr Wolski, who was confirmed dead at the scene, was living and working at Lutton Farm in Lutton, near Peterborough, at the time of his death.

Earlier this week Anne Long, 79, who runs the business with her husband and three of her four children, said: "We have lost a lad which was the last thing we wanted to do, particularly him, and we have got several in hospital."

She added: "He was a good guy, we've had him here for three or four years.

"His job was checking off on the fruit production."

A Staffordshire Police spokesman said a Home Office post mortem examination would now be arranged.

The 62-year-old coach driver, from Lincolnshire, is still in a critical condition in hospital, as is a 21-year-old woman from Lithuania.

The condition of a 21-year-old Polish woman who was critically injured has improved, police said.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated.
