The incident occurred in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, where the 40-year-old sanitation worker was grabbing garbage bags and throwing them in the back of a garbage truck when the gun went off. Oddity Central reported that his colleagues were stunned and thought a random stranger shot him until they saw his body on the ground. Although the men contacted emergency services, the man died from his injuries after being taken to the Rioverde Medical Center.
Investigators believe the man accidentally pushed the trigger when grabbing the garbage, and the gun’s barrel was pointed directly at the sanitation worker.

Freak gun accidents can happen at anytime
Freak gun accidents are rare but tragic events. They occur when a gun is discharged unintentionally, often due to a combination of factors such as human error, mechanical failure, or environmental conditions. Freak gun accidents can result in serious injuries or death, even when the gun is handled safely and correctly. Freak gun accidents can be prevented by following basic gun safety rules, such as always keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction, never putting your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot, and being aware of your surroundings. It is also important to store guns safely and securely and to keep ammunition separate from firearms.
One example of freak gun accident is the case of Joseph Austin Dill who was accidentally shot by his dog during a hunting trip.
According to reports, Dill was walking through a wooded area when Jake stepped on the trigger of a shotgun resting in the back of Dill’s pickup truck. The gun discharged, striking Dill in the chest. Dill was pronounced dead at the scene.
