Factory worker in China dies after she's buried under a pile of sand by distracted colleague who dumped her into a processor
A woman factory worker in central China has tragically died after her colleague scooped her up in a digger by accident and dumped her inside a sand processor. The distressing CCTV footage of the incident shows the forewoman standing at a factory in Yidu, in the Hubei province of the country, standing right in the digger's blind spot as the operator drove the large vehicle towards an even larger pile of sand. She can then be seen falling backward into the bucket of the vehicle after it crashed into her.
The operator, who had absolutely no idea what just happened, proceeds to fill the digger's bucket with a large pile of sand, essentially burying the woman alive, the Daily Mail reported. According to the Global Times, which cited a report by Beijing News, the local government subsequently confirmed that the woman died of suffocation in the incident which took place on February 24.
