A worker at a dairy plant in Denver died Monday morning when he was run over by a truck in a job-related accident.
The man, identified by police as Donald L. Wilson, 44, was killed about 6:30 a.m. at Robinson Dairy, 2401 W. Sixth Ave.
Wilson had crawled under a dairy truck to repair a broken drain while the truck was being loaded, said John White, a Denver Police Department spokesman.
After the truck was loaded, a driver pulled it away from a dock at the plant, located near Interstate 25 and the South Platte River.
Wilson, who was still under the truck, was run over.
The Police Department was investigating the accident Monday and declined to name the truck driver.
A spokesman with Robinson Dairy also withheld the driver’s name and declined further comment.
Robinson Dairy, a longtime Colorado milk producer, is owned by Dallas-based Dean Foods.
