Standing with Families After Fatal Industrial Accidents in Davis
One person was killed in an industrial accident on County Road 28 near the Yolo County Central Landfill, according to local authorities. The incident occurred early in the morning when two dump trucks from Northern Recycling were unloading materials. During the process, an unexpected mechanical or operational failure caused one of the trucks to shift, trapping the victim. Emergency responders arrived quickly, but despite immediate life-saving efforts, the individual was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials temporarily halted operations while investigators examined the equipment, reviewed workforce procedures, and assessed any potential safety violations. Cal/OSHA has opened an investigation to determine whether employer negligence, mechanical defects, or hazardous worksite conditions contributed to the fatality.
