- Man critically injured at EMR scrapyard in Camden was ‘impaled’ by blowtorch
A contractor was critically injured at an EMR scrapyard in Camden after being impaled by a blowtorch while disassembling a crane. The incident occurred days after a court allowed EMR's metal shredder to reopen following legal disputes over fire safety, amidst multiple fires at the site since 2020 that have caused pollution and health concerns for nearby residents.
