A man came within seconds of being crushed to death in a compactor truck after falling asleep in a cardboard recycling cage outside a central Hamilton bar.

It is understood the man, who works multiple jobs, decided to have a nap in the recycling cage, covering himself up with cardboard to keep warm.

The driver was about to compact the load when he heard banging coming from inside his truck.


He decided to have a nap in the recycling cage.

Witi Ihimaera wrote a story like this.
The lads thought 'Mary' was a bit of alright. But then... you won't believe what happened next.

I don't remember how the rest of it went. Google tells me it is called 'Dustbins'.
