A Deadly Mishap at a Michigan Metal Supply Business

A tragic accident took place at a metal supply company in Greenville, Michigan, on a Saturday morning. A 26-year-old man named Daniel Evans lost his life when he got trapped between a flatbed truck and its cab. He was helping to deliver a scrapped forklift for a local company at Greenville Steel. The incident happened around 11:45 a. m. when the flatbed truck was being moved back into place after unloading. The truck encountered some resistance, and that's when Evans got caught. Sadly, he died at the scene.Michigan State Police and Michigan's Occupational Safety and Health Administration worked together to investigate what went wrong. They found out that the flatbed truck belonged to J and A Towing, a company from Belding, Michigan. It's important to note that Greenville Steel wasn't involved in the unloading process. This kind of accident reminds us how dangerous workplaces can be. It's crucial for companies to follow safety rules and for workers to be aware of their surroundings. Greenville is about 154 miles northwest of Detroit, a significant distance that might have affected the response time for emergency services.
