A man was killed in a workplace accident at a Myrtle Beach recycling center Wednesday.

It happened around 12:30 p.m. at Lee Disposal Services on Seaboard Street.

Police say a back gate on a dump truck swung open, striking the man from behind.

39-year-old, Raul Chavez from Galivants Ferry was taken to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy will be performed Thursday to determine the exact cause of death.
