CommentsA Tacoma man was killed Friday in an industrial accident at a metals recycler in the Tideflats.
Luis Rodriguez, thought to be in his 40s, was “trapped under materials” at Simon Metals LLC at 2202 River St. on Friday morning about 9:30 a.m., according to Tacoma fire spokeswoman Jolene Davis.
Twenty firefighters and the department’s technical rescue team answered the call Friday morning, Davis said.
The Washington Department of Labor & Industries has begun investigating the incident, the conclusions of which will not be available for more than a month, said spokeswoman Elaine Fischer.
An official at Simon Metals said the company had no immediate comment on the incident.
The company will be closed until Monday.
