When he was finished, he got into his truck to return to the shop, backed out from the east side of 120 Mill, and made a left turn to go west. A tractor trailer loaded with steel plates was parked at the south end of 120 Mill, waiting to go into the mill to be unloaded. Employee #1 drove into the back of the trailer. The steel plates extending past the end of the trailer cut through Employee #1's truck and lacerated his jugular vein. He was killed.
