Replace space and vertical bar with verical bar

I am trying to get sed, tr or awk to search a file that contains records with fields delimited by the vertical bar | and replace the occurrences in the records where the vertical bar is preceded by a space " |" with a vertical bar.

Sample data record
zelli |||59 Stonewall Dr ||W Barnstable |MA ||00000|||man

I need it to look like
zelli|||59 Stonewall Dr||W Barnstable|MA||00000|||man

Thanks for you help in advance.
