Driver killed in incident at Arizona facility that is being built by a Taiwanese semiconductor giant
Authorities say a truck driver has been killed after a tank holding waste material depressurized at a Phoenix facility that is being built for a Taiwanese semiconductor giant
PHOENIX (AP) — A truck driver has been killed after a tank holding waste material depressurized at a construction site in Phoenix, where workers are building an advanced semiconductor manufacturing plant that could supply tens of millions of chips for powering smartphones, vehicles and data center servers.
Cesar Anguiano-Guitron, 41, was taking waste material away from the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company plant site in a tractor trailer Wednesday, police said.
Anguiano-Guitron was inspecting the tank for a potential problem when an uncontrolled pressure release occurred, causing him to be struck by a blunt object and thrown over 20 feet (6 meters).
He was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries. Police said the incident is under investigation.
