Employee crushed to death in horror industrial accident after press machine unexpectedly turns on
An Ohio Ford employee is dead after being trapped and crushed by a malfunctioning industrial machine at a company plant this week.
The incident unfolded around 9:45 a.m. on Monday, when authorities were called to Ford’s Sharonville plant on E. Sharon Road regarding reports of an industrial accident, according to FOX 19.
Upon arriving at the plant, authorities reportedly encountered a press machine that was undergoing routine maintenance when it malfunctioned, causing it to turn on and pin the worker.
First responders worked to perform life-saving measures on the worker once he was pulled from the machine before transporting him to Bethesda North Hospital.
The worker was later pronounced dead at the hospital, according to FOX 19.
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office reportedly identified the victim as 61-year-old Gregory Knopf.
“There were multiple witnesses to this incident and it is considered an industrial accident at this time,” Sharonville police said, according to FOX 19.
The incident reportedly remains under investigation by the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Ford Motor Company’s administrative staff.
“A tragic incident today resulted in the death of an employee at Sharonville Transmission Plant,” a Ford spokesperson said in a statement to WCPO.
“We are in contact with the family of the individual and we’re working to support them through this difficult time. Our deepest condolences are with the friends and family of our team member. Counseling services are available for our employees at the plant. Safety is our highest priority and we are investigating the incident. We would also like to thank our community first responders.”
Ford Motor Company and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Report shows Ohio caregivers experiencing stress, financial struggles
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A new study from AARP Ohio shows many Ohioans who are caring for aging parents and other adults are struggling financially.
Brian O’Rourke with the Health Policy Institute of Ohio noted that one out four Ohioans identify as family caregivers and most of them are doing the work without pay.
“That’s just additional stress and strain that can just contribute to that overall pressure,” O’Rourke said. “It can take people out of the workforce. And that’s when you look to the next level of, you know, potential stresses on our state economy, if people are leaving the workforce.”
According to the report, 93% of Ohio caregivers have spent their own money to provide care, groceries, housing costs, and medicine. Seven in 10 caregivers also experienced at least one financial hardship, such as taking on more debt or leaving bills unpaid.
“A major reason why there are so many informal family caregivers is that it’s really hard to find and hire like a home health aide,” O’Rourke said. “Ohio is really lagging behind a lot of other states in our home health workforce. We have about nine home health workers per 1000 population.”
O’Rourke shared that family members can get paid through programs like Medicaid, but usually it’s an informal caregiving category many people find themselves in. Nearly two-thirds of caregivers are trying to balance their job and family, and 47% say they are strained. He explained that it’s on policy makers to develop meaningful solutions.
“There is a bipartisan bill in the Ohio house that is essentially working to create a study commission to identify some solutions,” O’Rourke said. “I think anything that can boost, you know, wages and recruitment into the field, I think it really does.”

2 women wanted in Maryland for murder of suspect’s mother arrested in Ohio following tip: Police – WTOP News
(MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md.) — Two women wanted in Maryland for allegedly killing the mother of one of the suspects were…
(MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md.) — Two women wanted in Maryland for allegedly killing the mother of one of the suspects were captured in Ohio after an individual who offered to help them realized from media coverage that they were wanted for murder, authorities said.
The arrests came nearly three weeks after the victim, 67-year-old Hilde Henderson, is believed to have been killed at her apartment at a senior living community in Silver Spring, Maryland, authorities said.
Officers conducting a welfare check on May 26 found Henderson dead from blunt force trauma, according to the Montgomery County Police Department. She is believed to have been dead for four days, police said.
The victim’s daughter, 29-year-old Vanessa Tjongarero-Henderson of Clarksburg, and the daughter’s girlfriend, 36-year-old Samantha Raebel of Phoenix, were subsequently identified as suspects in the homicide, police said. Police obtained an arrest warrant charging them both with first-degree murder and released their photos amid the search for the suspects.
Following a nationwide search, the two were ultimately arrested Wednesday in Genoa, Ohio, thanks to a local tip, police said.
A woman in Genoa unwittingly offered to help the couple, until she and her friend grew suspicious and learned of the ongoing manhunt by searching one of their names online, according to ABC Toledo affiliate WTVG.
Adrienne Behrman told WTVG that the suspects came into her workplace and told her they were homeless, so she offered to help and invited them to stay at her apartment.
“I’ve been down and out myself — homeless, without money, you know, just not wanting to be a charity case or anything like that, and I just felt like I was led to help them,” Behrman told the station.
Behrman recounted, though, that the more questions she asked them about where they were from and where they wanted to go, “things were not adding up.”
She told her concerns to a friend, Nikki Peters, who said she noticed that the last name of one of the suspects from a Cash App payment request for cigarettes didn’t match the name she had been told, WTVG reported.
“That didn’t make sense to me, because it was still Vanessa, but a different last name,” Peters told WTVG.
While searching Tjongarero-Henderson’s name online, Peters said she found wanted posts for the two women, WTVG reported.
“I almost passed out,” Peters told the station. “[Behrman] was cool, calm and collected, but I almost passed out.”
“That didn’t make sense to me, because it was still Vanessa, but a different last name,” Peters told WTVG.
While searching Tjongarero-Henderson’s name online, Peters said she found wanted posts for the two women, WTVG reported.
“I almost passed out,” Peters told the station. “[Behrman] was cool, calm and collected, but I almost passed out.”
Behrman said she called 911, WTVG reported.
“That orchestrated the whole thing the way that it needed to be done in order for them to be apprehended and no one else to be hurt,” Behrman told the station.
Tjongarero-Henderson and Raebel are being held at the Ottawa County Detention Center awaiting extradition to Maryland, authorities said.
Police have not released details on what evidence led them to identify the couple as suspects in the case.
