A 45-year-old woman was killed at work after being sucked into an industrial machine and getting caught in the roller at a plastics factory, police say.
Eva Saenz was working at ABC Polymer Industries LLC in Shelby County, Alabama when the tragic accident occurred Wednesday, according to Shelby County Coroner Lina Evans.
‘It just appears that she was working next to the rollers and bent down to cut some of the plastic, I believe, with a box cutter and actually got pulled up into the rollers,’ Evans said.
