BREAKING UPDATE: A longtime Peet's employee was killed at an Oakland coffee distribution warehouse early Friday morning when the roof partially collapsed following heavy rains, a company spokeswoman said.
The man, who was not identified, but he had been a "beloved part of the Peet's family for 17 years," according to Mary O'Connell. Oakland Fire Battalion Chief Christopher Foley said crews responded to 650 85th Avenue about 3:20 a.m.
When they arrived, crews saw that a corner of the roof collapsed, and that the man had been struck by falling debris. A 30-by-30-foot portion of the roof collapsed and killed the man, fire spokesperson Michael Hunt said. OSHA officials said they were investigating what happened. According to city records, the buildings' owners applied to have the roof replaced two years ago. It wasn't immediately clear whether that happened.
In a statement, Prologis, which owns the warehouse, said that this is a "tragic accident, and our hearts go out to the employees and their families. We are fully investigating the circumstances of the accident and will work closely with local authorities and our customer." A coffee distribution warehouse where a person was killed.
