Worker dies wedged between the rollers of a machine

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 21 - A 34-year-old worker died Friday morning trapped between the rollers of a machine in a fibreglass laminate factory in Cividale Mantovano near Mantua in northern Italy, the latest in a long spate of fatal workplace accidents in the country.
    Co-workers rushed to his aid but he was already dead.
    Workplace accident insurance agency INAIL said earlier this month that fatal accidents had risen by four to 268 in the first four months of this year.
    There were about 1,00 last year, it said.
    Five men died after inhaling toxic gas in a sewer network near Palermo last month, and seven died in a hydro power plant blast near Bologna in April. (ANSA).
