Alyssa Drinkard, a young woman from Georgia, tragically lost her life while working at a golf cart plant. She was only 21 years old and had a promising future ahead of her. It was a typical Friday evening when the incident occurred, and Alyssa was just trying to retrieve her AirPod that had fallen under a conveyor belt. Little did she know, this simple act would lead to her untimely death.
According to an incident report from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, Alyssa was working as a line worker at the Club Car plant in Evans, Georgia. It was around 9:45pm when she dropped her earbud and it fell under the conveyor belt. In an attempt to retrieve it, she got caught in the chain that moves the belt. Her co-worker, Fae'Zsha Smith, witnessed the accident and immediately tried to free her. However, due to the way she was stuck, she was unable to do so and had to call for maintenance to shut off the conveyor belt.
The workers quickly sprang into action, taking apart the machine and calling 911 for emergency assistance. The first responders were able to pull Alyssa out by cutting the metal frame from around the conveyor. She still had a pulse at this point, and emergency personnel rushed her to the hospital. However, despite their efforts, she succumbed to her injuries and passed away the next morning.
The Club Car company confirmed the tragic news and expressed their condolences to Alyssa's family and friends. They also stated that they are cooperating with authorities and conducting their own investigation into the incident.

Fae'Zsha Smith, the co-worker who witnessed the accident, shared her own account of the events. She said she was working across from Alyssa when she dropped her AirPod and promised to help her retrieve it once it was safe. However, just seconds later, she saw Alyssa caught in the conveyor belt. She was understandably traumatized by the sight and deeply saddened by the loss of her colleague.
