 A worker was killed Monday afternoon at a Napa vineyard after getting stuck in a grape harvesting machine. Sheriff’s office spokesman Henry Wofford said first responders were at the scene within five minutes, and Lua was pronounced dead at 12:45 p.m. 
 
 Lua’s family said he was on the ground working next to the machine when a piece of his clothing got caught in it and pulled him into the machine, killing him. Cal OSHA said it was investigating the incident.
– A grim work-related death out of California's Wine Country, where a Napa man working at Beaucanon Winery's Deconinck Vineyards got pulled into a grape harvesting machine with fatal results. KTVU identifies the victim as Leon Marcelo Lua, 49. The San Francisco Chronicle reports his clothing got caught in the machine on Monday afternoon and he became stuck; CBS San Francisco reports he was working on the ground next to the machine at the time of the incident. About 80% of the state's grapes were harvested by machine last year, making the use of mechanical harvesting quite common. KTVU counts it as the fourth winery worker death in the region since 2016. (This workplace accident involved a wood chipper.)
