Forklift moves portable toilet with festivalgoer inside
|
Version 0 of 1. A woman was “teleported” across a festival site in a portable toilet – when it was moved by a forklift truck. The woman, who has not been identified, was using the toilet before the opening of Newlyn fish festival in Cornwall, but it was picked up by a forklift truck and transported to the other side of the harbour. Organisers of the festival, which took place on Monday, confirmed the woman was not injured in the incident.
