Monday night a 43 year old Clay City woman was working at Lexington Metals when she was struck in the neck by a piece of steel. She was operating a 1,000 ton machine press that makes bumper parts when a piece broke in the machine. The broken piece shattered when the machine was lowered and a piece hit her on the left side of the neck. The incident happened about 10:10 p.m. She was sent to Mary Chiles Hospital in Mount Sterling and was pronounced dead at 11 p.m. An autopsy is scheduled.
