In Hamburg, there was a fatal accident at the Lufthansa shipyard at the airport: an employee was trapped by a hangar door, the police said on Saturday. The 53-year-old man wanted to open a gate on Friday evening and then got his head in between.

According to the information, the worker was stuck between the gate and a fixed element of the hall and could not free himself.

According to the police, he was injured so badly that the emergency doctor could only determine death on the spot. Third-party negligence can initially be ruled out, according to the police. Further investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing. The "Bild" newspaper had previously reported on the accident in the Fuhlsbüttel district.
