B.C. man crushed in recycling truck dies from injuries

by Adam Said April 7, 2022

An Okanagan man who suffered life-threatening injuries after being crushed in a recycling truck earlier this week has died, Penticton RCMP say.

The 52-year-old was apparently sleeping in an unlocked recycling dumpster on Tuesday morning when a recycling truck came along shortly after 6 a.m., police said.

After the dumpster was emptied into the truck, then compacted, RCMP said the driver heard someone yelling from the back and called 911.
