A driver hauling Toronto sewage sludge to Michigan died yesterday
after being partly buried while unloading his truck.
Police say Jovan
SAROVIC, 38, of Kitchener, Ontario, was unloading
his tractor trailer around 6: 30 a.m. yesterday at the Carleton
Farms Landfill in Michigan, southwest of Detroit's airport.
Detective
Corporal
Michael
CZINSKI of the Sumpter Township Police
said Mr. SAROVIC was trying to dump his load of sludge into a
trench about 4.5 metres deep.
While he was standing behind the vehicle, the truck's doors apparently
flew open prematurely, knocking him into the trench and dumping
about a quarter of the truck's load of 35 tonnes of sludge on
top of him.
Michael VALCHEV,
Mr.
SAROVIC's employer, said it was too early
to say what caused the accident. "The first priority is to do
what the family would like us to do."
