Firm fined in door horror
KILLED: Patrick Morris.A PROPERTY campany has been fined £50,000 after an 11-year-old boy was crushed to death by a car park's roller door.
Patrick Morris was killed as he rode on metal shutters when the electric gates rolled up to let a driver out of an Old Trafford car park.
Neighbours and drivers had reported concerns to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency car park security staff about youngsters playing on the shutters.

But it is believed they were not passed on to Manchester-based Bruntwood Estates Ltd, which owns the car park.
Safety inspectors also discovered the firm had failed to act on new safety regulations.
At Minshull Street Crown Court, Bruntwood Estates pleaded guilty to health and safety offences and was fined £50,000.
Patrick's mother Kathleen McClacklen, 40, a social services worker, said: "Those shutters are death traps. They had been warned about them and did nothing and my son lost his life because of that."
Tragedy
The tragedy occurred in November 2001. Health and Safety inspectors issued improvement and prohibition notices and the gates were changed within three months.
In 2002 a coroner recorded a verdict of death by misadventure.
A spokesman for Bruntwood Estates said: "As indicated by the judge we had the right to rely on our supplier to provide an appropriate system.
"We have subsequently worked with the Health and Safety Executive in designing a door and sensory system, which will prevent any similar incidents occurring again.
"In 25 years in business we have built a good safety record. This awful accident has and will continue to play heavily on our minds"
