A TRAINEE nurse was horrifically crushed to death after falling inside an industrial potato chipper at a factory in Brazil.
Rafaela Alves dos Santos, 24, tragically tumbled inside the machine during her shift in the early hours of November 17.Credit: NewsflashShe is said to have been working at the Bem Brasil Alimentos plant in Perdizes when she fell onto the conveyor belt. The machine - designed to carry potatoes to be chopped into chips - mysteriously switched on automatically, despite it being turned off.
The 24-year-old was chillingly flung to her death at speed after uncontrollably hurtling towards the engine mount. A traumatised co-worker watched on helplessly as Rafaela sustained devastating head injuries, before she was crushed to death by the industrial potato chipper.
