Fremont Company roof collapses; takes life of Nate Kern | Fremont, Ohio wrongful death lawyers

Our Fremont, Ohio attorneys were saddened to read that a Fremont man was killed after a roof collapsed yesterday at the Fremont Company.

Nate Kern, a B&W Welding employee, was working at the company that makes sauerkraut, and bottles ketchup and barbecue sauce, when part of the roof caved in, according to the Fremont News Messenger.

The story also said that the B&W employees were replacing columns that support the roof on a 2,000-square-foot building when a 20-by-20-foot section of roof collapsed around 1:40 p.m.

B&W employees Mark Keckler and Todd Michael, as well as Fremont Company employee David Fisher were also hurt in the accident.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families during this difficult time.
