Another Industrial Accident Claims Another Life

At around 11:30 a.m. today at Digital Pre-Press International (DPI), located at Mariposa and Minnesota, a woman died while on the clock. It seems she "became enmeshed in the massive piece of equipment" at the San Francisco-based printing press. SFFD Lt. Ken Smith told CBS 5 that although his crew was successful "extricating her from the machine," she failed to recover from injuries sustained in the accident. As of now it is unclear as to what exact job the unidentified woman was performing just prior to her death.

This comes after yesterday's on-site fatality at an abandoned PG&E plant, where voluminous falling debris took the life of Luis Gonzalez, 43, of Ceres.
