March 18 Industrial Accident in Le Grand Kills One

On March 18 Benjamin Novoa was killed in a wrongful death industrial accident in Le Grand. Reportedly Novoa was unloading large steel pipes from the back of a flat-bed truck in the 7000 block of White Rock Road. The wedge used to hold the remaining pipes in place either broke or slipped free.  The pipes knocked Novoa off the truck and onto the ground. A pipe then rolled off the truck and over Novoa. Initially Novoa got up and other workers told him to get back down. His condiiton began to quickly deteriorate from that point on. Medical crews announced him dead at the scene. http://www.nelsonrozier.com/
