Authorities are investigating a fatal workplace accident that occurred in Oakdale, California, early Wednesday morning.

The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on June 14 at the ConAgra Foods facility in Oakdale, according to The Modesto Bee.

However, he reportedly tripped and fell and was run over by the moving truck.

Carrillo-Garcia died at the scene.

The incident is under investigation by the Oakdale Police and OSHA.
