A West Texas oilfield worker has been killed in an accident in which he was crushed by some pipes he was trying to move.
Midland County Fire Marshal Dale Little says the victim was 44-year-old Ronnie Lynn May of Seguin.
Little says some pipes apparently slipped and May was crushed. May was pronounced dead Monday afternoon at a hospital.
Relatives say May had worked for Tulsa, Okla.,-based contractor Helmerich & Payne Inc. for several years.
Company spokesman Mike Drickamer says the accident is under investigation. Federal safety authorities are also investigating.
