['Larry Altman']

Date: 2011-06-23  

A longtime employee killed in an accident at the BP refinery in Carson was identified Thursday as William Barry Wise, 54, of Irvine.

Wise died shortly before 8 a.m. Wednesday on the refinery’s grounds at 2350 E. 223rd St., authorities said.

A preliminary investigation found that Wise was moving a rail car into position in a rail yard when it ran though its designated stop and “crushed him between objects,” said Patricia Ortiz, a spokeswoman for Cal-OSHA.

The accident occurred in a yard where butane is loaded and off-loaded from tankers.
