LINDSEY, Neb. (AP) — Officials in northeastern Nebraska say a man has been killed at a poultry operation near the village of Lindsay.
The Madison County Sheriff's Department says it was called Monday to an address for a report of a man being crushed, and deputies arrived to find Bairon Neftali Carreto Perez, 23, of Columbus, gravely injured.
Carreto Perez was rushed to a Norfolk hospital, where he died. Sheriff's officials say an investigation showed Carreto Perez had been helping with the transport of large crates of live chickens, which were being moved using a forklift when the crates became dislodged.
Officials say Carreto Perez stepped between the crates and the forklift when the crates slipped further, crushing him against the forklift.
