A 30-year-old Oxnard man died Friday night after his legs were severed in a cement mixing machine, authorities said Saturday. Juan Manuel Vasquez was doing maintenance work inside the
machine when for unknown reasons it activated and dragged him into a loading chute, authorities said. The accident occurred about 10:45 a.m. Friday at Team Transit Mix in the 500 block of
Diaz Avenue in Oxnard. Vasquez was conscious and talking during his 20-minute rescue by firefighters but died about 6 p.m. during surgery at a local hospital. MORE TO READ
