In a strange twist, this marks the second industrial-machine related death in the state in a matter of weeks, arriving just over a fortnight after a woman was reportedly crushed to death after "something went wrong" while she was operating a bread machine in food factory Automatic Rolls, as per the New York Post.
Speaking to local news outlet WNCN, officials from the Selma Fire Department discussed their efforts to free López Severiano, explaining that they "basically took the machine apart in order to get the woman out."
Those working to free her continued to discuss their efforts with the media, with Fire Chief Phillip McDaniel explaining to WRAL that he and his team were forced to use “small tools” to complete the "tedious process" of setting her free - even revealing that the machine was reportedly on when López Severiano became stuck.
In the days since this freak accident took place, a GoFundMe page has been set up to gather donations that will go towards helping López Severiano's daughter Miriam Amado-López and her family during this difficult time.
The page explains that López Severiano "gained her wings... due to an accident at her workplace.
"She was a very loved person by the community. Every single penny will be going directly to [the family]."
As of writing, the fund has more than doubled its $5,000 goal - gathering more $10,179 and counting.
