CROZET, Va. (AP) — Police say an employee of a central Virginia lumber company has died after being hurt while on the job.
Albemarle County police said in a news release that officers responded to an industrial accident at Yancey Lumber Company in Crozet just before 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Police say 46-year-old Floriberta Macedo-Diaz of Waynesboro sustained a life-threatening injury at the job site. She was taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center, where she died as a result of her injuries.

A person who answered the phone at the company hung up twice.
