A Georgia woman died after she dropped an AirPod under a conveyor and got caught in a chain while searching for it last week, several outlets reported.
Alyssa Drinkard, 21, died Friday night during a shift at a Club Car plant, which manufactures golf carts and other vehicles, NBC News reported.
According to an incident report obtained by WSBTV, a co-worker told officials that Drinkard got pinned under the machine after getting caught in the conveyor belt chain while trying to retrieve her airpod at around 9:45 p.m. on Friday.
USA TODAY has requested a copy of the incident report from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.
NBC News reported the co-worker told officials that because of the way Drinkard was pinned, she "was not able to get her out, so she called for maintenance to come and shut the machine down. They began taking it apart once the machine was down and called 911."
Emergency responders pull Drinkard out
Responding emergency personnel were able to cut the metal frame around the conveyor and pull Drinkard out. She wasn't breathing but still had a pulse, WRDW reported.
Emergency personnel performed life-saving measures before Drinkard was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to WRDW.
Club Car did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment but in a statement told WRDW: “Our sincere condolences and thoughts are with the family, friends, and all impacted by this loss. We are working with authorities and the contractor in an investigation to determine the facts about what led to the incident.”
