Accident – Death – Obituary News :
WHITESTOWN, Ind. — Tragedy struck the Waste Management facility in Whitestown for the second time in approximately six months, as another worker lost their life in what authorities are calling a “workplace accident.”
The incident occurred on Tuesday, just after 2 p.m., prompting a swift response from the Whitestown Police Department. Reports indicated that a worker had been struck and seriously injured at the facility located at 6252 South Indianapolis Road.
Upon arrival, first responders tragically pronounced the employee dead as a result of traumatic injury. The victim was identified as Johnny Williams, a 59-year-old resident of Indianapolis.
According to police, Williams was struck by a work vehicle in what has been classified as a workplace accident. The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration (IOSHA) has confirmed the worker’s death and initiated a safety-compliance inspection at the Waste Management location.
This recent fatality follows a similar incident that occurred last December at the same Waste Management facility. In that case, 44-year-old Anthony Osby lost his life after being struck by a “several thousand-pound concrete block” during another reported workplace accident.
Despite these tragic events, Waste Management has not issued a statement regarding the two deaths that have occurred within a span of approximately six months.
Authorities are continuing their investigations into both incidents to determine the circumstances that led to these fatal accidents. The community is left mourning the loss of two individuals who lost their lives while on the job at the Waste Management facility in Whitestown.
