Police were called at 10.48am on Thursday, January 9, to a building site off Rudgard Lane in Lincoln, where a man was reported to have been injured in an industrial incident.

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service said the man had become trapped under a digger.

The 23-year-old man, who has been identified as Harry Cheston from Rainworth, died while working at a student accommodation site on West Parade.

According to tributes paid on the Gofundme page, he was due to become a father.

Loved ones have left tributes to Mr Cheston, after a JustGiving page was set up to help the young man’s family.

A tribute posted on the page set up by friend Luke Gowdy said: "Harry Cheston, 23 years old.

"Anything to help his little family. Rest in peace, fella."

The page has surpassed its target of £2,000, and the total stands at £2,619.
