On Friday morning, a 33-year-old worker died after she was pulled into a processing machine at the Del Rey Packing Company in California.
According to multiple reports, Yaneth Lopez Valladares died as a result of traumatic injuries sustained after her hair and loose clothing became entangled with a shaft to a cylinder in the machine.
At about 11 a.m., the single mother of three was clearing debris from a stem grading line used to break-up bunches of raisins. Coworkers shut off the machine immediately and called 911, but Valladares succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
According to OSHA, which is investigating the accident, Valladares was working for Blessed Harvest, a farm labor contractor. She had worked at the facility for two seasons.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help Valladares' family.
