TULSA, Okla. — An employee of Superior Linen Service was fatally crushed June 12 when the hydraulic scissor lift he was working under fell on him, according to Officer Leland Ashley of the Tulsa Police Department.
Douglas Ray Ramey, 33, was working on a lift used to load trucks at the plant when the accident occurred. Ramey disconnected an improperly working hydraulic hose, Ashley says in quoting from the police report, and the lift fell. Ramey was trapped underneath the equipment and was pronounced dead at the scene.
