Young Man Crushed Inside A Cement Mixer
posted (September 4, 2018)
Last night a 21 year old Guinea Grass villager met a terrible death inside a cement block making machine. It happened at AP Enterprise Cement block factory at mile four and a half on the George Price Highway. At around 9:30 last night, Jeffery Hernandez was cleaning the machine, and had inserted himself inside of it - when someone - who didn't know he was there- turned it on.

Seconds later, a co-worker heard Hernandez screaming for help and ran to the machine to find him trapped between the blade and the side of the mixer. The Fire Department and BERT had to be called to extricate him. The mixer had crushed and cut his midsection - and he died on his way to the hospital.

Hernandez would have been 22 later this month.
