Nurse tried to save husband crushed by truck

THE wife of a man, who was crushed to death in a weekend truck accident, tried to resuscitate him in his final moments.

Mairead O’Sullivan made the desperate attempt to save her husband Tom’s life after she found him beneath a truck at their home in Coolbawn, Co Tipperary, on Saturday morning.

Mr O’Sullivan, 45, a father of four children, had been working beneath the vehicle before the supports it was resting on became unstable and collapsed on him at about 12.30pm.
