BUENA VISTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Authorities have released the name of a 31-year-old worker who died after being crushed at a steel plant near Saginaw.
The Saginaw News reports (http://bit.ly/UaOTpO ) Andrew Beckman of Saginaw was employed for about two years at Peerless Steel. Crews responded about 9:45 p.m. Monday to the plant in Saginaw County's Buena Vista Township after he was crushed.
Authorities say Beckman was loading 12-foot steel rods onto a trailer when the 3,100 pound load appeared to shift, pinning him against a steel shelf. Peerless Steel says it's cooperating with authorities.
The death at the plant about 80 miles northwest of Detroit is under investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
