Investigation Summary
At 3:00 p.m. on September 19, 2019, an employee and coworker were sitting on top of a semi-trailer while corn gluten feed was being delivered and were poking at the feed with a pole. The employee fell into the hopper trailer and quickly became engulfed beneath the surface. Several employees and Emergency Services personnel arrived onsite to assist in pulling the employee through the bottom of the front hopper from underneath the trailer. The employee was pronounced dead at the site due to asphyxiation.
