Man crushed to death in Eurotunnel rush

For a second night, migrants have repeatedly rushed the tunnel linking France and England, leaving one man crushed to death by a truck in the chaos, deepening tensions surrounding the thousands of people camped in Calais, the French port city.

Eurotunnel said it had blocked more than 37,000 such attempts by migrants to reach Britain since January.

There were conflicting numbers of people involved, ranging from 150 to as many as 1,200. French authorities and the company agreed there had been about 2,000 attempts on each of two successive nights.
