Mike Edwards (62), cellist with ELO was killed on the A381 road between Harbertonford and Halwell near where he lived in Totnes in Devon, when a cylindrical hay bale weighing 1,300 pounds (590 kg) rolled down a hillside and collided with the van he was driving. A court case on 19 November 2012 resulted in two defendants being found not guilty of health and safety charges relating to the accident.
