Man Killed in Lackawanna Industrial Accident



LACKAWANNA, N.Y. — An industrial accident in western new York has killed one man and injured another.

Federal workplace safety authorities tell Buffalo media outlets that a 3-ton steel beam fell on the men at the Linita Design and Manufacturing plant in Lackawanna at about 5 p.m. Thursday.

Authorities say 46-year-old Sabahudin Ramulic of Tonawanda was declared dead at Mercy Hospital, where his co-worker, 26-year-old Patrick Barker, was treated for leg injuries officials say aren't life-threatening.

The accident is under investigation.

Linita makes structural welded steel products.

How do you feel about allowing school districts a second vote on their budget plan?
  As long as it's a different plan it's ok.
  I'm ok with a 2nd vote for the same or a different plan.
