A mother of five has died in a workplace accident at a UPS logistics facility in Richmond, California. Shelma Reyna Guerrero, 43, was fatally injured when parcels collapsed inside a trailer she was loading at the site on Atlas Road.
Richmond police said emergency services were called shortly after 4:15pm local time on Sunday, when a co-worker discovered Reyna with severe injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers compared the collapse of packages into her working space to a 'landslide'. The incident has prompted questions over warehouse safety standards and the risks posed to employees working alone in confined spaces.
