Abstract: At 1:30 p.m. on April 10, 2020, an employee working for a farmers cooperative was assisting a coworker with connecting a Chevrolet 2500 HD Truck to a dual tank anhydrous ammonia trailer located in a field of bean stubble. The employee was holding the tongue of the trailer up while the coworker was backing up the truck. When the coworker started to back-up the truck, the rear wheels started spinning. The coworker accelerated the truck to assist in gaining some traction. When the spinning wheels came into contact with dry ground, the truck lurched back. The employee became caught between the truck and the tank trailer. The employee sustained crushing injuries to his pelvis and was hospitalized.
