A coroner’s office has identified a Kentucky worker who was killed while loading road salt into a maintenance facility.
The Jefferson County coroner’s office said that 52-year-old Trent Haines of Louisville died from blunt force injuries last Wednesday (12/27). The death has been ruled an accident.
Louisville Public Works spokesman Harold Adams said Haines and another worker were loading salt on a dome conveyor at a road maintenance facility when they got caught up in a machine.
Louisville Police Spokesman Dwight Mitchell said the second worker’s injuries were not expected to be life-threatening. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident.
