Employee is killed when caught between two dies

At 5:38 p.m. on November 9, 2023, Employee #1, a press associate, was pre-staging a PACCAR door opening panel die that weighed 88.8 tons for a press machine. Employee #1 moved the die, while standing between the two dies with an overhead crane. The die tilted because the crane was not centered over the die. The die moved towards Employee #1 and pinned him between the die and another die in storage. Employee #1 died from his injuries of traumatic asphyxia at the scene.
