The family of a highway worker killed by an 'unsafe' tree during Storm Eunice are suing for more than £200,000 compensation over his death.
Jack Bristow, 23, died of major head injuries when an 18 ton 'rotten' tree crushed the truck in which he was travelling after delivering traffic equipment to a site in Alton, Hampshire.
He had been out doing essential maintenance work, collecting traffic light equipment that could have posed a significant danger to the public.
The horror accident happened just minutes after answering a text from his mother asking if he was okay.
Mr Bristow, from Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, left a son now aged four - as well as other grieving relatives, including his parents, Teresa and Gary Bristow, who are now suing over their son's death.
