Employer Confirms Worker\u2019s Death<\/h2>\n

On Wednesday, company officials with LSG Sky Chefs<\/a> confirmed the man was one of their employees.<\/p>\n

The catering company provides food and services for airlines that use Minneapolis\u2013St. Paul International Airport.<\/p>\n

In a written statement, a company spokesperson said the loss is being felt across the workplace.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said the death affects the entire team, especially co-workers who saw him every day.<\/p>\n

LSG Sky Chefs also expressed sympathy to the man\u2019s family and friends.<\/p>\n

State Patrol Assists in Ongoing Investigation<\/h2>\n

The Minnesota State Patrol is helping MSP Airport Police with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Troopers are working with airport officers to review the crash scene and collect evidence.<\/p>\n

Officials are expected to look at lighting, weather, and snow removal operations in the lot.<\/p>\n

They will also review the actions of the snowplow operator in the minutes before the impact.<\/p>\n

Investigators have not yet released details about possible charges or citations.<\/p>\n

More information may be posted later by the Minnesota State Patrol<\/a> or airport officials as the case continues.<\/p>\n

Airport leaders say safety remains a top concern during winter operations, when plows and other heavy equipment move near workers and vehicles.<\/p>\n

Officials are urging drivers and pedestrians to use extra caution in snowy and icy conditions at the airport and across Minnesota.<\/p>\n
