A London property developer has been fined £40,000 after a member of the public was crushed by a faulty falling lift at a residential property.
The 23-year-old man had returned to the flats on Cambridge Heath Road, east London, with a group of friends after a night out on 9 September 2019.
When he and seven others entered the lift on the ground floor, it began to shudder and descend with the doors still open. As it began to fall, the man attempted to exit the lift, but was crushed between the ground floor and the top of the lift.
