Texas man fatally crushed by trash compactor

A Texas man died when the trash compactor of a sanitation truck crushed him Wednesday morning. The sudden and tragic occurrence will make for a truly sad holiday season “without his presence and smile,” a friend said. Chad Adams, 41, fell asleep in a trash bin in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was seeking warmth Tuesday night, reported local outlet NBCDFW. The sanitation truck dropped Adams along with the bin’s other contents into the compactor the following morning. The driver engaged the machinery that fatally cracked Adams’ pelvis. The sanitation worker reportedly stopped when he heard Adams screaming, Officer Sharron Neal told The Associated Press.
