An employee at Nucor Steel Arkansas suffered a fatal head injury Tuesday. According to the Mississippi County Sheriff’s Department, the man—who has not yet been named—appeared to be riding a train car when it derailed and he became caught between it and another train.
He was discovered early in the morning by workers from his shift, after he had not been heard from for a while. Mississippi County Coroner Mike Godsey pronounced the man dead upon his arrival.
Mill operations were suspended immediately following the incident.
