A ROMANIAN worker has died after being struck by a machine on an industrial site.

The man, who has not yet been identified, was working on the M25 widening roadworks near to junction 29, at Upminster.

It is believed the worker, in his 20s, died after a reversing D180 dozer struck him, according to a colleague at the site.

“We were called at 9.50am.
