An accident at a food-processing plant in Oakland Tuesday morning has reportedly left one person injured.  Officials with OSI issued a statement to the media Tuesday afternoon saying “At approximately 11:30 this morning, a contractor was servicing a piece of equipment when the accident occurred outside of the plant. The contractor’s employee was transported to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs via Oakland Fire and Rescue and the extent of injuries is unknown, but the person has been discharged from the hospital.”

Some reports from employees on their social media sites made reference to a generator exploding  outside the facility, but that has not been confirmed.
