Here is some sad news about the Wood River Refinery Death. At an oil refinery in Wood River, Illinois, on Tuesday, a crane collapsed and fell to the ground, killing one worker and seriously hurting another.

At around 10:45 on Tuesday morning, according to Phillips 66 spokeswoman Melissa Erker, the crane at the company’s Wood River Refinery overturned.

She claimed there had been one fatality and two injuries among contract workers. The hurt worker was transferred to a local hospital for medical attention. The representative remained mum regarding the extent of the worker’s wounds.

The deceased employee was identified as 47-year-old Chad Crabtree of Owensboro, Kentucky, by Madison County Coroner Stephen P. Nonn. Nonn identified himself as the project manager for the refinery’s subcontractor Sterett Crane & Rigging.

The crane overturned due to a mechanical issue, according to a press release from Nonn’s office. Erker stated that the emergency response team for the refinery was “working to stabilize the effects” of the crane while also attempting to determine what precipitated its collapse.

She reported that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was also conducting an investigation at the refinery. The Roxana Police Department is also looking into it, according to Nonn.

Until their relatives can be notified, the firm is hiding the names of the employees. The statement she made stated that “the safety of our personnel, the community, and the environment are of the highest priority to our organization.” “These priorities will direct our efforts as we look into the incident’s cause,” the statement reads.
