Travis Rutherford
Potts Jr.47male2018-10-03Travis Rutherford Potts Jr., 47, was pronounced dead shortly after the East Alabama Paving liquid asphalt truck he was operating overturned. At around 6 a.m., Opelika police and fire responded to the 100 block of Old Columbus Road in reference to a single-vehicle traffic accident.

Potts was found in the cab of the truck with no signs of life, Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said. “Potts was removed quickly from the vehicle due to spilled liquid asphalt at the accident,” Harris said. He pronounced Potts dead at the scene. There were no visible signs of injury and investigators believe the driver may have suffered a medical event prior to the crash, Harris said.

CAJeremy LeeAppleyard43male2018-09-27Jeremy Lee Appleyard, a private contractor helping the U.S. Forest Service do repair work at the scene of the largest California wildfire on record, the Mendocino Complex Fire, was killed after the pickup truck he was driving rolled off a hill from a road in the Mendocino National Forest.

Appleyard, 43, was driving eastbound on a dirt road in the forest near the community of Elk Creek, west of Willows, when his 1996 GMC 1500 rolled down a steep embankment, according to the California Highway Patrol, which is investigating the crash. He "made an unsafe turn to the left and allowed his vehicle to leave the roadway," the CHP's summary of the incident said. The Highway Patrol said the truck rolled over several times and Appleyard, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the truck and died as a result of the collision at 5:10 p.m. on Thursday. Appleyard had been missing for a couple of days, and federal officials involved in the Mendocino Complex Fire work had put out a "be on the lookout" alert to help find him. Appleyard's body was found on Saturday, almost exactly 48 hours after the crash, according to the CHP.

Appleyard was "assigned to fire suppression repair work" in the national forest, federal officials said in a news release Monday. "The driver of the vehicle was part of the log removal process," Punky Moore, a spokeswoman for the Mendocino National Forest, said in an email. Appleyard worked for Oroville-based J.W. Bamford Logging, according to the coroner's office. Bamford Logging is licensed and authorized to conduct forest tree cutting and removal operations, according to a Cal Fire listing. Workplace regulators are not investigating the death.

Edward "Richard"
Reins68male2018-10-14Richard Reins, an employee of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca died on Sunday after being struck by a car while trying to aid another driver who had lost control, according to the company managing the event. Corner workers are employees who wave flags to signal to drivers during racing sessions. They're positioned along the fencing of the track within sight of drivers but with gravel and/or sandtraps between their posts and the track itself.

One of the cars in the group had a mechanical issue and spilled oil near the entry of turn 7, the turn directly before the famous “Corkscrew” corner. Red and yellow waved flags were shown throughout the area during the incident to advise drivers to proceed with caution and slow down.

Cars in a leading group of four drivers were the first to encounter the spilled oil. One of the cars in the group, identified as a Porsche 911 GT3 by multiple participating drivers, slid through the oil and went off-track. Another Porsche 911 GT3RS two cars behind lost traction and went into the barriers on the left side of the track. At some point during that crash, Reins left his turn station to assist a driver and was hit by another participant's car, according to the Facebook post and driver postings.

COEctorRodriguez65male2018-09-29Ector Rodriguez died Sunday afternoon when he was crushed by the pin-setting machine at the bowling alley he owned. The former owner of the bowling alley said the equipment "wasn't real modern." Police and fire and rescue personnel found Ector Rodriguez, 65, trapped in the machine, unconscious and not breathing, according to the Canon City Daily Record. The business was open at the time, and people were bowling. "He went back to service the machine," Police Chief Mike DeLaurentis said. "The employee said she hasn't seen him in about 15-20 minutes. She went back to check on him and that's when she found him trapped in the machine and called 911."

Police said the death is being treated as an accident. No foul play is suspected. Fremont Lanes is a long time staple in Florence.
"He was a manager as well as mechanic," former owner Larry Baker said. Baker said Rodriguez worked for him when he owned it, then eventually ran the place himself.
Rodriguez worked with the old pin setter and knew the equipment well.

No one saw Cooper fall into the water, but a coworker said he saw him in the water and threw him two life savers and a floating vest, but Cooper sunk under the water before he could grab them. Cooper was not wearing a life jacket when he fell off the barge, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. The Fuller Warren is undergoing a $126 million state renovation and expansion. A group of barges with a crane atop one is tied to the southeast side of the bridge. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the case.

OSHA cited Archer Western in August for safety violations after two employees died when a section of concrete highway barrier collapsed on them as they removed a storm drain system, according to federal documents.

ILDavid GeneBialas55male2018-10-09David Bialas was killed when a steel beam fell at a construction site in suburban Chicago. Crews working on the construction of a nine-story apartment building were using a crane to unload steel beams from a truck about 8:25 a.m. when a beam fell on the two workers at the worksite in the 800 block of Emerson Street in Evanston, according to Evanston police spokesman Perry Polinski.

The beam was about 30 feet in the air when the crane’s rigging failed and the beam dropped onto the two men, ages 55 and 27, according to the Evanston Fire Department. Evanston police spokesman Perry Polinski says one worker was pronounced dead at a hospital. The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the dead man as 55-year-old David G. Bialas of Compton, Illinois. The other worker, a 27-year-old Woodridge man, was hospitalized in critical condition.

OSHA spokeswoman Rhonda Burke said the deceased employee worked for Area Erectors Inc. of Chicago. A spokesman for the company declined to comment on the incident.

ILArlen J.Bradley18male2018-08-24A man died after being run over by a bus he was overhauling Friday afternoon at a junkyard in south suburban Chicago Heights.

Officers responded at 2:17 p.m. to the incident at Wilkins Rebuilders Supply, 171 E. 12th St., according to Chicago Heights police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. When they arrived, officers learned that an employee driving a front end loader started moving the bus without realizing that 18-year-old Arlen J. Bradley was working underneath it, police said. The loader’s operator then moved the bus forward, causing the rear wheels to run Bradley over.

Bradley was taken to Franciscan Health Chicago Heights, where he died at 2:47 p.m. Friday, authorities said. He lived in Cedar Lake, Indiana. Bradley had just graduated high school that spring.

IAPaul EvanDeBoer59male2018-10-12Paul DeBoer died in a northwest Iowa farm accident. The Lyon County Sheriff's Office says the accident occurred Friday on a farm northwest of Inwood. The office says 59-year-old Paul DeBoer was operating the machine when it rolled over and pinned him. DeBoer was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sheriff Stewart Vander Stoep said Paul Evan De Boer was operating an old tractor — with an old loader on its front and no enclosed cab — when it rolled over and pinned De Boer underneath it. De Boer was pronounced dead at the scene.

“From what I got from the officers out there, he had a big, round hay bale on the loader on the front of his tractor,” Vander Stoep said. “There must have been a small incline. The tractor started to slide a little bit and it caught onto something and tipped.”

He said the tractor’s wheels likely hit harder ground that stopped its sideways slide. He added that the sudden stop likely broke the farm machine’s front axle and helped cause the tractor to roll over.

“The weight on the loader was probably part of it,” Vander Stoep said. “Once the momentum got going there, the bale probably helped tip it over.”

Vander Stoep did not know how long De Boer had been pinned underneath the tractor before emergency responders arrived at the scene.

The men were working on the three-story house's roof at the time of the accident. The Sheriff said The men had been working from a large basket or work platform that was attached to the boom of the T-Rex forklift. "The ground was sloped where the machine sat, and the ground was soft from the recent moisture." Morse says the accident happened shortly after 2 p.m.

The other man, now identified as 29 year-old Zachary Estrada, of Holton, sustained an amputation to his right arm and was transported to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.

LARonnieFrancois50male2018-10-11Ronnie Francois, a state prisoner in a work release program affiliated with the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office died Thursday afternoon after he suffered a head injury while working with construction materials, the sheriff said. Francois, 50, died shortly before 3 p.m. while working at a location in the 36000 block of Corbin Road in Walker on a job manufacturing construction materials, Ard said. The sheriff did not name the business for which Francois was working.

A family member of the state work release inmate killed in a workplace incident Thursday said he suffered a head injury from a falling beam. "They were unloading beams and it somehow fell and hit him in the head," said Courtney Toups, the niece of Ronnie Francois. "We don't have too many details."

Michael Buvens, of B & C Industrial, declined to comment on the specifics of the incident but said, "We’re heartbroken over everything."

Lockhart, of Lock5 LLC, said this was the first serious injury or death since he began running the work release facility in January. Lockhart said he sends inmates to work at 40 to 50 different businesses.

Lori Steele, a spokeswoman for Ard's office, said the death will not affect the contract it maintains with the facility's operator.

Livingston TWP was formerly operated by Paul Perkins, of Louisiana Workforce LLC. Lockhart, who is from Livingston Parish, said he purchased the contract from Perkins.

Vitale31male2018-10-03Joseph Vitale died overnight after being stabbed around 8pm on 10/3/2018 while working at Burton Heights Pizza, a restaurant operated by his family. The suspect entered the restaurant and began to cause a disturbance. Vitale was stabbed during the distrubance.

The two argued in the back of the pizzeria. The suspect was angry and loud. Vitale told a worker he might have to fight Streets. He tried pushing him out the door as the arguing continued. A witness heard his boss yell. "He said, 'He stabbed me,' and he was holding his left side," according to witness testimony.

Vitale tried to drive himself to a hospital about three miles away. He crashed his vehicle on Wealthy Street SE, a short distance from Mercy Health St. Mary's hospital. A Grand Rapids police officer was nearby and provided emergency treatment before Vitale was taken to the hospital where he later died.

MNVernHedquist59male2018-10-02A semi rear-ended a truck pulling a trailer along I-94 and County Road 81, causing that truck and trailer to spin into a work zone and killing 59-year-old construction worker Vern Hedquist. Another construction worker was also hit. Authorities believe a Ford F-150 was traveling eastbound on I-94, slowed down for traffic, but was rear-ended by the other driver, and the crash eventually spilled into the construction zone. Hedquist was performing geotechnical evaluation on I-94, working as part of a team collecting important data for an upcoming DOT project when the accident occurred.

“There were signs posted that the right lane was closed. It was a moving construction zone, so they were working in different areas," according to a spokeperson for the state patrol. The state patrol said this crash was preventable, and it is possible that one or both of the truck drivers could be charged once the investigation is complete. As the driver of a pickup truck with a trailer approached the work zone, he slowed down and was hit by the driver of a commercial box truck. “The truck and trailer then went into the right side and careened into the right, and the truck and trailer essentially split along the core of the drilling device and that is where the man who was killed was at."

Jessup55male2018-10-09Michael Jessup, a mechanic at Smithfield Foods plant in Tar Heel, was killed on Tuesday after he became trapped in a piece of machinery. Jessup was fatally injured while he was on a scissor lift performing repair work on a conveyor belt, reported. Emergency personnel were called to the Tar Heel facility at about 3:30 p.m., and officials pronounced the man dead at the scene as a result of trauma to the head.

“The employee was struck in the head by a cylinder while trying to remove a bent wheel from a chain drive. The employee switched the airline hoses to relieve pressure from the chain when the employee was stuck,” N.C. Department of Labor spokesperson Mary Katherine Revels said in a statement to The Fayetteville Observer.

Smithfield said it plans to investigate the worker’s death. North Carolina’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is also looking into the incident.

Jessup was an employee of Smithfield for about a decade, reports said. The plant appears to have a history of safety violations in recent years. A search of inspection records on the U.S. Department of Labor’s OSHA website reveals 11 entries over the past five years.

MEBrettBickford41male2018-09-27Brett Bickford was killed during a tandem skydive jump around 2pm on Thursday (9/27). Bickford was a skydiving instructor who got separated from a student skydiver after the parachute had deployed during a jump around 2pm that day. The student skydiver landed safely.

Maine State Police, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are all investigating the death.

Bickford’s body was found Friday about 750 feet southwest of the Lebanon Airport runway by a team of game wardens, a state trooper and two members of a search-and-rescue team. Bickford worked as an instructor at Skydive New England for 10 years. He had a pilot’s license and a drone license.

An 11/26 news article said that state police reported that the state Medical Examiner's Office concluded Bickford's death was a suicide. Investigators concluded that Bickford loosened his harness in midair and that it was an intentional act. State police based their findings on interviews with other skydiving instructors and industry officials, who agreed that no experienced skydiver would loosen a parachute harness by mistake. Bickford was a member of the U.S. Parachute Association.

Bianchi, 77, was a 26-year member of the North Arlington Volunteer Fire Department and responded to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

Borough Administrator Stephen Lo Iacono said Bianchi, 77, worked at the World Trade Center site "for a while" following the attack. Bianchi had battled cancer for the past 18 months, but he "took a serious turn" a few days ago, Lo Iacono said.
