Fatal crane accident in Texas

A 20 year-old man died in a crane accident at a pipe and steel distributor’s facility in Leary, Texas yesterday.

The man, Stephen Rodney Cutchall, was hit by a falling beam at the facility which stocks fabricates and distributes a wide range of steel and other metal products. The company’s 80,000 square foot warehouse includes a number of overhead cranes and it is believed that a beam fell from one of them, hitting him in the head.
