Employee killed, another injured in runaway truck accident

Employees #1 and #2 were driving on an abandoned strip mine access road in a flatbed truck loaded with bales of hay/straw when the truck lost its brakes. Employee #2, the driver, was unable to control the runaway truck. He told Employee #1, the passenger, to jump from the vehicle at the same time as he (Employee #2) did.

Employee #2 was hospitalized.
