An 18 year old boy was killed last night after being hit by a "tug" on the runway. Tugs are used to transport planes to and from hangars, although the one that killed the 18 year old was not attatched to the plane at the time of the incident. The boy was an employee of American Service International Group aka ASIG. ASIG is a contractor for Detroit's Metro Airport that handles cargo, baggage, and fueling for various airlines. This is the second death to occur on the ramp at DTW in less than 2 years-the first resulted when a young man was caught between a conveor and a plane.
The boy's parents have been notified of the incident, and his body is in custody of the Wayne County Medical Examiner. It is unknown how long the boy had been employeed by ASIG, and the death is currently under investigation.
The boy was struck outside of gate A-60 outside of the McNamara Terminal- the terminal which carries international flights by Northwest and it's sky partners including Lufthansa, British Airways, and Royal Jordanian.
