Man Loses Life While Working on Mushroom Farm

While you would not think that anything serious could happen on a mushroom farm, it did in one city when one man lost his life while working on the farm. According to the police reports, the construction worker was hit with a piece of equipment. He walked into a front-end loader and was killed instantaneously. The loader was being driven in reverse by a fellow employee who did not see the victim.

At this time, the workplace accident is under investigation by OHSA. It is uncertain whether the man operating the loader will be charged in the accidental death. The identity of the victim will not be released until the next of kin has been notified.
