A Bryan, Ohio, man has died in an industrial accident at a Butler steel company, police said.

Joshua Lucas, 39, died Tuesday when he was pinned between rolls of steel at Heidtman Steel, said detective Brady Thomas of the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department.

Officers were called just after 3 p.m. to the business at 4400 County Road 59 in Butler.

Thomas said Lucas was pinned between rolls of steel that were on a crane and rolls that were on the ground. Investigators believe his death was accidental, Thomas said.
