A man has been killed in an industrial accident on Monday in Adelaide’s Northwest.

“There has been an industrial accident at trailer company on Manthorpe Street, Dry Creek,” a police statement said.

Police said a 37-year-old man died at the scene after being crushed by a trailer.

The business employs around 60 workers and has been operating since 1976.

It is the second workplace fatality in Adelaide in less than a month. On July 16, a man died after being struck by a steel beam at a desalination plant.
