ROXANA, Ill. (AP) – A coroner says a contractor died after a crane overturned at a refinery in an Illinois suburb of St. Louis. Madison County Coroner Stephen Nonn says 47-year-old Chad Crabtree of Owensboro, Kentucky, was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident Tuesday afternoon at the Philips 66 Refinery in Roxana, 17 miles northeast of St. Louis. Nonn says Crabtree was a project manager for Sterett Crane & Rigging. He says during the operation of the crane, a mechanical malfunction occurred and caused the crane to overturn. Nonn says Crabtree sustained head trauma. Nonn says a second man operating the crane was hospitalized.
