I love how the article states he was "crushed with the REST of the rubbish..."

How accurate can ya get?

[oldrider]

Crusher Collins might get ideas from this but of course to "actually get crushed" they would have to volunteer, like this one did! :doh:

Not the first time this has happened either.

Not the first time this has happened either.

Nor will it be the last.

I'll bet you it's an urban legend ...

Most modern garbage trucks like this compact the garbage as it is loaded, and, as I understand it, a person is highly unlikely to survive that compaction process, let alone be able to use a cellphone to call for help ... that in itself says Urban Legend

It looks authentic because it has a name and quotes “police officers” but that’s not unusual in legends ...

And the photograph is of a truck unoading .. looks authentic but is probably not THE truck and THE load the guy supposedly hid in ..
