CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A worker at a North Carolina snack food plant was killed when he was hit by a truck near a loading dock as he headed to his car, police said Friday.
According to a news release from Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, Robert Sledzewski, 56, had ended his shift at the Snyder’s-Lance plant late Thursday and was walking to his vehicle through the poorly lit area of the loading dock.
Police said as a truck driver turned into the loading dock area to retrieve a trailer, he didn’t see Sledzewski and hit him with the truck. According to police, the driver was screened and found not to be impaired at the time of the accident. Investigators also said speed was not a factor in this accident.
Police said no charges are pending in the case.
