A 38-year-old Flagstaff woman was killed in an industrial accident at a salvage yard off Leupp Road on Monday at about 8 p.m.
According to information from the Coconino County Sheriff's Office, the victim had been helping two men fix a Bobcat tractor with a malfunctioning front-end loader at the yard on Roosevelt Drive. Witnesses told sheriff's investigators that the door of the tractor would not close and the loader was in the "up" position. While one of the men was in the tractor, and the other man trying to close the door, the loader came down.
The victim was pinned between the front of the tractor and the loader. She was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Flagstaff Medical Center.
