A 47-year-old man was killed at an airport after being hit by a snowplow, according to People. He died after being struck by a Ford F550 snowplow at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, People reported, citing a statement from Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesperson Jeff Lea. The man, whose name has not been released, is understood to have been an employee at aviation catering company LSG Sky Chefs. Lea said the plow struck him at about 6.45 p.m. near Terminal Two. Medics, he said, were unable to save him. The vehicle was being driven by a 25-year-old contracted by Sky Chefs, who “remained on scene cooperating with law enforcement,” Lea said. “Driver impairment is not believed to be a factor.” It came on a bitter day where around 200 flights were delayed at the airport, and temperatures were below 30 degrees. Parallel investigations are being carried out by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Minnesota State Patrol Airport Police Department. According to CBS News, a LSG Sky Chefs spokesperson said, “This loss affects all of us—especially those who worked closely with him every day.”
