Authorities are trying to determine the cause of an accident earlier this week in Riverbank, California that claimed that claimed the life of a sanitation worker.
News sources say 30-year-old Ismael Martinez-Huertas, a father of two, was crushed by a hydraulic mechanism on a garbage truck Monday afternoon. Martinez-Huertas was reportedly found pinned between the body of the truck and the arm that dumps the cans into the hopper.
