Two UPS Workers Killed at Hub

From the Los Angeles Times:

Two UPS workers died at a shipping hub at Ontario International Airport on Monday morning after a tractor-like vehicle tipped over and crushed them.

 

 

The Ontario Fire Department notified the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health at 7:21 a.m. about the double fatality.

 

 

“According to the outside source, a tug tipped over and crushed the two employees,” Cal/OSHA spokesperson Luke Brown said. Tugs are tractor-like vehicles used to tow heavy shipment.

 

The airport is a major shipping hub. In 2016, it underwent an expansion to double its production, according to the Press Enterprise.

 

UPS was not immediately available for comment Wednesday, and Cal/OSHA, which is investigating the fatal accident, said it could not comment on the tug that was involved. p>

 

 

 

 

Thoughts and prayers goes out to family, friends and co-workers.

 

 

Loosing a loved one at any time of the year is hard, but at the holidays, is especially devistating.

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

That is what I thought too and glad it was not.  Nonetheless a very tragic occupational accident.  Prayers for victims, families & co-workers.
