SANTA FE SPRINGS — An employee at a grocery warehouse was killed Wednesday night when a tractor-trailer backed into him and pinned him to a wall, police said.
The man’s name wasn’t released pending notification of his family.
Whittier police Lt. Mike Przybyl said the 6:38 p.m. incident happened at Superior Grocers Warehouse at 15510 Carmenita Road in Santa Fe Springs.
He said the man was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center where he died of his injuries.
“At this point we’re looking at it as an industrial accident,” Przybyl said. However, he added that the investigation is ongoing.
