LOWELL, Mich. (WOOD)
A man has died after an accident at a milling company in Lowell Saturday.
The accident happened at King Milling Company, located on South Broadway Street at around 11 a.m.
The contractor was up on a lift high into the air when the lift came in contact with electrical wires. The wires electrocuted the equipment and caught the lift on fire.
The contractor then fell from the lift to the ground and did not survive his injuries. Officials said it’s not clear if the man died from electrocution or from the fall. In any event, the poor worker is dead. RIP.
There is a power outage in downtown Lowell due to the accident.
The victim’s name is not being released until family has been notified.
