OSHA released initial details from their investigations. They say the accident happened at 4770 FM 1057, northwest of Hereford.
According to officials, 27-year-old Sebastian Granados was working to lower a hydraulic hoist at the time. It appears a damaged hydraulics line led to the hoist falling and hitting Sebastian Granados. This caused fatal injuries.
The OSHA report listed an alleged “serious” violation citation. No further information about the accident can be confirmed at this time.

Despite OSHA saying there was a serious violation found in their investigations, there’s likely a lot more to the story. Texas has uniquely challenging work fatality laws, and OSHA reports are usually just a small part of the larger process workers families have to go through to get a proper resolution. That’s why it’s always important families have allies putting their needs first and working toward a fair resolution.
