GREELEY, CO (CBS4) — An employee at the JBS meatpacking facility in Greeley was killed while on the job Saturday, according to the union representing the worker. The unidentified worker is believed to have drowned after machinery knocked the worker unconscious.
Local 1 Union spokesman Ted Herrera told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas the worker was likely hit by a flap on a machine which caused him to loose consciousness, leading the worker to fall into a pool of liquid.
