Woman Killed In SF Printing Press Operation Mishap

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / KCBS / BCN) ― An industrial accident at a printing operation near AT&T Park claimed the life Tuesday of an unidentified woman. It was the second such fatal accident in the city of San Francisco in two days.

The fire department was called to Digital Pre-Press International at 645 Mariposa Street around 11:30 a.m., according to SFFD Lt. Ken Smith.

"We responded with our rescue squad to try to take the machine off her. We were successful in doing that and extricating her from the machine. However she has perished from her injuries," Smith told CBS 5 at the scene of the accident.

Smith did not know what job duties the woman was performing when she became enmeshed in the massive piece of equipment.

The San Francisco medical examiner and investigators from Cal-OSHA were at the scene.

On Monday, Luis Gonzalez, 43, of Ceres, Calif., was crushed to death when a five-story high boiler collapsed at the former Pacific Gas & Electric Co. power plant located at 1000 Evans Avenue in the city's Bayview-Hunters Point section.
