New York — Juan Baten, a 22-year-old Brooklyn worker, was killed early this morning after tumbling into a mixer at a tortilla factory, police said.
The freak accident happened at Tortilleria Chinantla in Williamsburg at 2:30 a.m. when Baten tried to retrieve an item after dropping it inside the waist-high machine, investigators said.
Investigators believe the turbine mixer instantly sucked Baten in and broke his neck.
