Contractor Killed In Accident At Marcus Hook Industrial Complex

MARCUS HOOK, Pa. (AP) -- Sunoco Logistics says a contractor has died in an industrial accident at its oil and natural gas storage and processing facility outside Philadelphia.

Company spokesman Joe McGinn says the contractor was fatally injured around 2:30 p.m. Monday at the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex near the Pennsylvania-Delaware border.

Sunoco Logistics did not release the contractor's name.

McGinn says the company's deepest sympathies are with the contractor's family and friends. He says they've suffered a devastating loss.

Sunoco Logistics is converting the 800-acre Marcus Hook complex from an oil refinery to a natural gas storage facility and terminal.
