A tragic incident occurred in an industrial zone in the Söğütlü district of Sakarya province, Turkey. A 54-year-old Uzbek worker employed at an aluminum manufacturing plant became the victim of an accident, according to local Turkish media.
It is reported that on May 8 of this year, a worker identified as O.E. was caught under a large press machine for unknown reasons. As soon as the incident occurred, his colleagues immediately notified the relevant services.
Numerous rescue teams, including firefighters, paramedics, and police, arrived at the scene. Unfortunately, the worker died at the scene due to severe injuries.
According to preliminary information, the deceased had arrived in Turkey legally on March 22 of this year, hoping to improve his livelihood and start a new life. However, this tragedy occurred less than two months into his employment.
