Falling Steel Pile Injures Factory Worker at New Jersey Bed Frame Company

Authorities say a factory worker was injured when a large pile of steel accidentally fell on him.

The incident occurred around 9:20 a.m. Wednesday at a bed frame company in Carlstadt. Authorities say the man's legs were pinned under the pile but he was alert and conscious as rescue crews worked to free him.

The man was rescued about an hour later and was taken to a hospital. But his name and further details on his injuries have not been disclosed.

A preliminary investigation found a machine moving the equipment somehow lost its load and it fell on the worker.
