A man was killed July 21 when part of an oil rig he was working on fell on him near Houston, officials said.
The incident happened in a remote area of the northeastern part of Harris County, 10 miles northeast of Houston, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. The man was part of a crew working on the mobile rig when the back of the rig fell on him, killing him, he said.
Another man was taken to a hospital for treatment of a shoulder injury. No identities have been released, and no cause for the collapse has been determined.
Officials say the work crew comprised six to seven workers.
