A Greensboro man was killed in an accident on his job shortly after 3 p.m. today.
Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said 24-year-old Trampus Shelnutt walked in front of a bucket loader at Oconee Sand and Gravel and was run over.
Putnam County Emergency Services and Fire Department personnel arrived at the business on Harmony Road six minutes later and took Shelnutt by ambulance to Putnam General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Sills.
“It was clearly an accident,” Sills said. “He unfortunately walked in front of it. There was a video there at the facility that showed it was clearly a horrible accident.”
