According to Taiwanese media reports, in the morning of today (5th), a production safety accident occurred in a food processing factory in Pitou Township, Changhua County. A 60-year-old operator named Huang in the factory was repairing the freight elevator in the factory. The freight elevator suddenly started because the power was not properly cut off. The head of the operator named Huang was trapped on the spot and died tragically. At present, the island police are still investigating the cause of the incident.
Chen Zhongyou, the captain of the fire brigade of the Changhua County Fire Bureau, said that he was reported at 8:12 am this morning. There was a suspected person trapped in the elevator in the food factory. He immediately dispatched fire vehicles and ambulances to go there. When he arrived at the scene, he found that Huang was trapped above the freight elevator. Half of his head had been cut off, and he was obviously dead.
Fire Brigade said that Huang was trapped between the freight elevators on the 2nd and 3rd floors. He was repairing the electric elevator at that time. The elevator suddenly started unexpectedly, and the death accident occurred. Since Huang was obviously dead, the person in charge at the scene said that he did not need to be sent to the hospital and has been handed over to the police for investigation.
reporters came to the factory where the incident occurred. The security guards outside the gate and the employees who walked out of the factory were all silent and said they were unclear. It seemed that the factory had issued a ban order. An employee privately revealed that at that time, Huang Man first discovered the fault and wanted to check it first and then ask professional maintenance personnel to repair it. Unexpectedly, the stuck elevator suddenly moved again and he was pinched to death on the spot. At present, the island police are investigating with all their might and the inspection will be completed as early as the afternoon.
