A 22-year-old Sudanese man died on Sunday after attempting to leap onto a moving Britain-bound lorry from a Calais toll booth. He fell onto the road in Pas-de-Calais, at the Setques toll plaza, having been unable to reach the vehicle. Prosecutors closed the case, ruling the death an accident based on CCTV footage, and his body was returned to his family.
