Sex: male

Place: Sandy Cross, Bromyard, Worcester

John Thomas Lea died after he was struck by a van on Sandy Cross pitch on 6 August 1960 whilst walking home with his wife.

The van driver that hit him said that moments before the impact that his windscreen had suddenly gone white and that he had then hit out at it and pushed his hand through it to make a hole and that when he did so he saw John Lea and his wife in front of him and remembered then turning to avoid them but could not remember anything after that.
