Yesterday at 13:30 a crane contractor at the Crawberry Hill well site was involved in an accident that hospitalised protector Ben Deevoy.
Pete Marsden, a Hull resident who was visiting site at the time witnessed the accident, and said: "I was behind the vehicle as it approached the gate with 3 protectors in front of it. The driver suddenly accelerated, and 2 protectors managed to dive out of the way to each side, but Ben was hit in the front and sent flying 2 or 3 yards."
Ben Deevoy, a protector camping at site, was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary. He was discharged later in the day with possible sprained back and shock.
The driver was taken away in a police vehicle. We have not yet been able to confirm whether he was arrested, as reported by witnesses yesterday.
