An assembly line worker who was injured at a Brazil factory over a week ago has died.
Levi Snyder, 23, of Harmony, was seriously injured in an accident at Great Dane’s Brazil plant on June 4 while moving a trailer within the plant, according to information previously released by the company.
He was treated at the scene by company medical staff before the Brazil Fire Department arrived after 7 p.m. on the day of the accident. Snyder was taken by local paramedics to St. Vincent Clay Hospital in Brazil before being flown to an Indianapolis hospital.
On Friday, June 12, Snyder "succumbed to death" at "7:15 p.m. at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis following injuries sustained at work at Great Dane," according to an obituary received by the Tribune-Star.
Visitation is scheduled for 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursday and the funeral is at 1 p.m. Friday at Lawson-Miller Chapel, 1702 E. National Ave. in Brazil. Burial will be at Clearview Cemetery.
The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been notified by Great Dane about the incident. The agency has previously said it will open a safety investigation into the case.
