CHICAGO (AP) - A 35-year-old man has died after being struck by equipment at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office on Monday said Jijo George of Des Plaines suffered multiple injuries, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Police were called to a hangar at the airport about 2 p.m. Sunday on a report of an unresponsive man beneath a vehicle. George later died at a hospital.

He was crushed by an “aircraft drivable pushback apparatus,” according to autopsy results.

His death was ruled an accident.
