La Mirada man killed in Santa Fe Springs work accident identified
SANTA FE SPRINGS -- Coroner's officials Thursday identified a 48-year-old La Mirada man who died in an industrial accident at a grocery warehouse.
Joseph Maier was pronounced dead at the University of California, Irvine, Medical Center within an hour of the fatal accident about 7 p.m. Wednesday at Superior Grocers Warehouse at 15510 Carmenita Road, Orange County coroner's officials said in a written statement.
"(Maier) was injured at work when pinned between a truck and a loading dock," the statement said.

The investigation was ongoing.
