Malakoff Man Dies in Industrial Accident

CORSICANA — A Henderson County man has been killed in an accident at the Corsicana landfill. Dead at the scene Wednesday afternoon was Kenneth Eugene Wheeler of Malakoff. He was an employee for Clean Sweep Trash Service in Malakoff. Workers had already unloaded the garbage truck and were putting it back down when, for some unknown reason, Wheeler reached back into the truck. Assistant Police Chief Ronny McGaha told the Corsicana Daily Sun Wheeler was caught on the clamshell mechanism on the trash truck and not the compactor.
