A 20-year-old Titan Tire employee was seriously injured in an industrial plant accident in Des Moines Aug. 4. Christian Alvarez, an operator in the millroom, was in serious condition after the accident. 

A police report said Alvarez apparently became stuck in a machine and suffered head and neck injuries before firemen could pull him out. A Union Steel Workers' spokesperson said Alvarez worked on a machine that winds up fabric used in tire liners.
