2nd worker dies after industrial accident in east Harris County

A second person has died after a piece of heavy equipment flipped onto workers at a site in east Harris County, authorities say.

This happened around 9 p.m. at Spitzer Industries, located in the 13800 block of Industrial Road near the Houston Ship Channel.

One of the workers died at the scene. The second person died at the hospital.
A third person was treated at the scene.
The company calls itself a leading custom steel fabricator. It’s based in Houston and the facility, which it calls its Waterfront Facility, “provides a direct link to the Houston Ship Channel, enabling worldwide shipment of large components.”
