The case centers on the 2020 death of a worker who was strangled when the hood on his clothing was caught in the spinning shaft of a 16,000-pound spinach harvester.
WATSONVILLE — The owner of a Watsonville-based farm has been formally charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to the 2020 death of one of his employees in a workplace incident, according to the Santa Clara County Office of the District Attorney.
Around 4:50 a.m. on Oct. 15, 2020, Carlos Jimenez Cruz, a 32-year-old employee of Willoughby Farms died when the hood on his clothing was caught in the spinning shaft of a 16,000-pound spinach harvester, the DA’s Office said.
