A division of a Fort Wayne-based company will pay almost $22,000 over the death of a worker at a Columbia City plant earlier this year.
55-year-old Kevin Seiber was crushed by machinery in March. The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration has fined Steel Dynamics for a number of violations related to what happened.
