Abstract: At 9:15 a.m. on June 18, 2019, Employee #1 and Coworkers #1 and #2, employed by a construction company, were engaged in highway paving repairs. Coworker #1 was operating a milling machine being used to remove the top surface of the road. The removed surface material then moved by conveyor to a waiting belly dump truck being operated by Coworker #2. Employee #1 was attempting to re-tie a broken guide line used by the milling machine operator. Employee #1 was stooped down in front of the belly dump truck's rear wheels. Coworker #2 received a signal from Coworker #1 to pull ahead. As Coworker #2 pulled the belly dump truck forward, the rear wheels struck Employee #1. Emergency services transported Employee #1 to the hospital, where he died from multiple crushing injuries.
