Investigation underway after demolition worker is killed at chemical plant.
Authorities are investigating an accident at an Illinois chemical plant that’s left an Iowa man dead.
Forty-six-year-old Timothy Shields of Cedar Falls, Iowa, died Wednesday at a Joliet hospital.
The Will County Sheriff’s office says Shields was finishing demolition work at the Oiltanking plant in Channahon when a three metre (10-foot) section of rebar hit him in the forehead, under his hard hat.
An autopsy has cited the accident as his cause of death.
