A Castroville man was crushed to death this morning while he was working on his truck. Monterey County Sheriff’s Deputies say 53-year old Adolfa Alvarado was working underneath his dump truck in the 1100 block of Merrit Street at around 10 a.m., when the truck’s hydraulics gave out and the bed of the truck came crashing down on him. A woman jogging by heard Alvarado calling out for help when she went to a nearby market and called 911. Alvarado had already died from his wounds when emergency crews arrived.
