Location of Incident: Tyson F. Sartin Inc. Memorial and concrete Products, 4300 block of Kirkwood Saint Georges Road, Saint Georges, Delaware, New Castle County

 

Date and Time of Occurrence: Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at approximately 10:11 a.m.

 

Resume:  Shortly after 10:00 a.m. today, Troopers and medical personnel responded to Tyson F. Sartin Inc, on Kirkwood Saint Georges Road, in reference to an industrial accident. 

 

In this case, the business owner, a 56-year-old man, was working on a company truck, a 1983 Chevrolet C30, and was positioned beneath the vehicle.  The truck was running during this repair. 

 

The owner’s clothing became entangled in the mechanical workings on the under side of the vehicle, pulling this individual into the frame of the truck, pinning him there and critically injuring him.

 

An employee of the business came along, observed the injured subject and summonsed an emergency response.  The patient was freed from the truck by first responders and rushed to Christiana Hospital where he was last listed in critical condition. 

 

Updates to this incident will be disseminated to the media as warranted.
