A robot has crushed a worker at a
Volkswagen production plant in Germany,
the company said Wednesday.

The victim of the Volkswagen accident was
a certain 22-year-old man who was said to
have been helping to put together some
stationary robot that grabs and configures
auto parts.
Reports say that on Monday, the machine
grabbed and pushed him against a metal
plate.
According to the Associated Press, he later
died from the injuries.
Volkswagen has refused to release the
name of the deceased.
A spokesman for the automobile company
told the Associated Press that the robot
was programmed for specific tasks, so the
company believes the malfunction was due
to human error.
Another spokesperson hinted that though
the company uses some lightweight robots
to work on the production line next to
humans, this was not one of those robots.
