Struck-by accident claims life of Mich. dairy worker
A Michigan man was killed at a dairy facility in Coopersville Saturday night by a truck driver who did not see him.
According to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department, 57-year-old Ronald Hart had just unloaded a trailer at the Continental Dairy loading duck. He did not see Michael Yell, who was standing on the passenger side of the semi-truck, between the cab and the rear wheels. When Hart moved his truck forward, he struck Yell, who suffered severe head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene.
