Dad-to-be Killed in Accident Hours After He Announced He Was Expecting a Child

A young man was crushed to death after a parking barrier swung into his car, just hours after he had told his family he was expecting his first child with his girlfriend.

The 22year old Will Page, was driving out of an industrial estate in Ilkeston in Derbyshire when a parking barrier swung into the windscreen of his van, trapping him and crushing him to death.
According to UK Mirror, Mr Page’s father Brian said:

‘One minute he was telling everyone he was having a baby and over the moon – and the next this happened.
‘He loved kids and being a father was everything he wanted. Everyone said he would have been a great dad.’

Flowers have been left at the industrial site in Ilkeston where the parking barrier (right) swung into his van and his father said:

‘It was truly astounding and so emotional. It made me feel so much better because he was loved by so many.
‘Will was such a happy-go-lucky child, right up to his death, forever smiling and laughing.
‘He was the typical joker type of lad and would do anything to cheer people up.
‘You couldn’t find a better son, mate, brother or leader – he was well-thought-of by so many people.’

His friend Lee Harris, 28, of Ilkeston, who worked with him for about five years at A&D Plastics in Digby Business Park said:

‘It is not something you expect to hear. When I found out he had been involved in an incident, I walked up there thinking he had broken his leg. You do not think the worst.
‘It was when I found out he was trapped that I realised it was bad. He was a great lad, I always got on with him and he was one of those people you bond with through work. My brother Daniel was his best mate. They did everything together; fishing and holidays.’

Life isn’t fair!!!
