A factory worker was killed when he was drawn into an industrial roller at a paper mill in Wadeville, Johannesburg, this morning.
The cause of the accident and the series of events preceding it remain uncertain and will form the subject of a South African Police Force investigation.
Common cause information indicates that the man had been cleaning a part of the roller when his jacket was caught in the moving parts of the machine. The man was pulled by his clothing into the roller and crushed by the machine.
Netcare911 Paramedics arrived at the scene to find the man’s body had been pulled from the machine by his frantic co-workers. He had sustained critical injuries and had sadly died as a result.
