A steelworker injured in an accident at a CMC Steel plant near Seguin, Texas died Wednesday according to authorities.
Clifton Wright, 21, suffered burns to as much as 80 percent of his body after the incident Sunday, which occurred in the plant’s melting room. Another steelworker injured was released from the hospital Monday morning.
A spokesperson for CMC said operations at the plant have resumed, but the area where the accident happened will remain closed while the company investigates the cause.
