The owner of a freight company who died in a Balclutha workplace accident yesterday has been remembered as a “true achiever” who will be sadly missed.
Alex McLellan died as a result of injuries suffered in a workplace accident at McLellan Freight, the company he founded.
In a Facebook post, the New Zealand Heavy Haulage Association paid tribute to McLellan, who had been a “loyal member” for more than 28 years.
“It is a sad loss to all those members that knew him, but especially to his family – and we pass on our sincere condolences to the family at this very difficult time.
