HOUSTON (AP) – Officials say a man is dead after part of an oil rig he was working on fell on him near Houston.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says the incident happened Wednesday afternoon in a remote area of the northeastern part of the county, 10 miles northeast of Houston.
He says the man was part of a crew working on the mobile rig when the back of the rig fell on him, killing him. Another man was taken to a hospital for treatment of a shoulder injury.
No identities have been released, and no cause for the collapse has been determined.
