Initial suspicion was that the lorry might have been stolen by visiting US researchers from Fermilab, but a review of CCTV footage by CERN scientist Vittoria Vetra suggests it had been left overnight with the handbrake off.
I should have paid more attention. But I was just reaching into my bag to get my baguette lunch.
CERN lorry driver Herwig Chopper
Vetra discovered that following the test run, the driver – Herwig Chopper – had hit a pine marten dashing across the car park. “I should have paid more attention,” admitted Chopper. “But I was just reaching into my bag to get my baguette lunch”.
