A 62-year-old man is seriously injured after being crushed by a bitumen roller on Sydney’s M2 at Cheltenham. Multiple outlets report he sustains critical injuries and is taken for urgent medical treatment.

The incident involves a ride-on roller reportedly weighing about four tonnes. Reports indicate the worker was operating or working in connection with the roadwork when he became caught or was struck by the machinery. Authorities have not described any further injuries or causes of the incident in the provided coverage.

Both outlets present the same core facts: the victim’s age, the location in Cheltenham on the M2, the type and approximate weight of the roller, and that his condition is critical. Differences are limited to wording, with no additional operational details or confirmed findings included in the shared information.
