Abstract: On November 7, 2021, Employee #1 was assigned a call to assist a disabled motorist on I-95 Northbound. Employee #1 drove a Freightliner Rollback, identified as Truck 15 (ID#1FVACLUFC4JHJP4418), to the location of the disabled motorist. Employee #1 arrived on location around 11:24 p.m. and pulled Truck 15 into the right hand shoulder of I-95, in front of the disabled motorist around Mile Marker 196. This shoulder was located near a bridge and had a guardrail on the rightmost side of the shoulder. Truck 15 was parked between the right hand lane of I-95 and the guardrail. Employee #1 exited the truck and greeted the disabled motorist. After conversing with the motorist, Employee #1 began to hook up the disabled vehicle onto the back of Truck 15. Employee #1 moved from the right side of Truck 15 to the left side of Truck 15 to continue hooking up the disabled vehicle. Around 11:30 p.m., while Employee #1 was on the left side of Truck 15, between the toolbox and the winch controls, a semi-truck, driving in the right lane of I-95, passed Truck 15 and struck Employee #1. The impact moved Employee #1 further into the roadway, and Employee #1 was subsequently struck by at least two other vehicles driving down I-95 Northbound. Employee #1 suffered unrecoverable multiple blunt force trauma injuries that resulted in dismemberment and death.
