Officials are investigating the death of a worker injured in a crane accident at a Norfolk, Nebraska manufacturing plant over the weekend.
Sheriff’s deputies and paramedics were called to the Continental Tire plant late Saturday afternoon by a 911 caller who said a man had fallen from a lift, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday in a news release.
Officials said the worker, Keith Polenske, 50, of rural Randolph, was taken to a local hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
An investigation showed Polenske had been working on a scissor lift when an automated crane hit the lift, causing it to tip over. Polenske fell several feet to the floor, causing severe injuries.
