Dickinson man dies in fall from workover rig

Talk about it

A Dickinson man died Monday following a fall at an oil field site outside of Killdeer in Dunn County, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration confirmed Wednesday.

Terry Metcalf, 52, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Metcalf was a derrick hand with Big Sky Well Service, Belfield. Owner Charles Fulton said Wednesday that he and Metcalf go “way back” as they both have resided in the Beach area.

“I’m sorry it happened but we don’t know what happened,” he said.

The incident occurred at about 7:30 a.m., according to OSHA. There were no other injuries and the incident is under investigation.
