A woman has been crushed to death in an “unthinkable tragedy” inside a bread factory.
Bibiana Arellano Delabra never returned home from a shift at Automatic Rolls of North Carolina (Northeast Foods) in Clayton, US on Saturday.
The 22-year-old was operating a large industrial mixing machine when “something went wrong” and it ended up crushing her.
An investigation has been launched into the freak accident at one of America’s biggest bread suppliers, which has since ceased production, to cooperate with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
A spokesman for Northeast Foods said: “We are devastated by the accident that occurred over this weekend that resulted in the tragic loss of one of our employees.
“We remain committed to working with OSHA and all pertinent parties to conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation into this unthinkable tragedy.”
Bibiana’s heartbroken sister, Maria Arellano has created a GoFundMe page name to help pay for her funeral. In it she pays tribute to “Bibi” who she describes as “full of love” and “positivity”.
In a bid to receive some financial assistance in covering the costs of end of life expenses, Maria Her says on the site: “I just wanted to thank everyone who has reached out to me and my family with prayers & love.
