PLAIN TWP.: A 32-year-old man died Thursday morning after falling into a farm silo, Beacon Journal news partner Newsnet5.com reported.
Rhett Acker of Plain Township was climbing a ladder at 9:45 a.m. when he fell backward into the silo, located in the 3800 block of Maple Grove Road.
“Apparently, while the man was servicing the silo, he slipped and fell and he became wedged essentially face up, feet up and could not free himself,” Wayne County Sheriff’s Capt. Doug Hunter told the television station.
