Worker killed in accident at Cecil County Landfill in Elkton
BALTIMORE -- A worker died after heavy machinery fell on him Thursday at Cecil County Landfill in Elkton, the Cecil County Sheriff's Office said.
Investigators believe Christopher Brown, a 37-year-old man from Colora, was performing repairs on a piece of equipment when the machinery fell.
Officials said workers in the area saw Brown trapped, called 911, and then removed the machinery to attempt life-saving measures.
Brown was employed by a company contracted through the Cecil County government.
The sheriff's office said it will work with Maryland Occupational Safety and Health in its investigation of the incident.
