(KAIR)--An Atchison man is dead, killed late Monday morning in what authorities call an industrial accident, 3 miles west of Atchison, at the Shannon Industrial Park.

Killed was 30-year-old Gerald Weidler, as identified publicly Tuesday morning by Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, who says the fatal accident happened shortly after 11:00 at Atchison Tubular Manufacturing, located at 8154 Industrial Park Lane.

Wilson, in the release identifying Weidler, explains what led to the fatal accident, saying that Weidler "was working on what is known as a pipe trimmer machine," located in a building on the south end of the complex. Pipe leaving that building is rolled out on elevated rails to a location adjacent to the building. Weidler had walked outside and was working on pipe at the second location when the accident occurred.

Joining Atchison Police in responding to the report of the fatal accident were the Atchison Fire Department and Atchison County EMS.
