OTSEGO - A worker at an Otsego company was killed and two other employees were injured Monday in an industrial accident, according to the Otsego Police Department. The incident occurred at about 10:10 a.m. at Mill Assist Services, 141 N. Farmer St.

It appears three workers were trying to remove the end cap from a thick-walled hollow drum roller that is used in paper production. Police stated the workers applied pressure to the inside of the pipe when the cap wouldn't come off. The end cap unexpectedly gave way and struck one man, killing him. The two other workers were hurt by debris from inside the pipe. Police did not say how severe their injuries were but they sought medical treatment without using an ambulance.
