TOWN OF BROWNING, WI (WSAU) — A 43-year-old Medford man has died after he was run over by a loader at the Crass Sawmill on Tuesday.
First responders were called to the scene at around 3:30 PM for a report of a man who had been run over and was not conscious or breathing. Medics reported that he showed severe head trauma from the incident.
He was later identified as Mark Frischman. Investigators say he was talking with another person near where the loader was unloading a semi. The operator of the loader said they were unaware that Frischman was standing nearby. Additionally, the loader was not equipped with a backup camera or alarms.
The investigation also determined that it would have been difficult for him to hear the loader coming because other vehicles were running nearby.
No further details have been released.
