The vehicle had a seat for the driver only, so Employee #1 was standing in the open doorway on the right side of the vehicle. The vehicle was traveling at approximately 40 miles per hour on a 4-lane undivided road when the driver allegedly hit the brakes to avoid striking a vehicle that had stopped in front of him. Employee #1 was thrown through the open door of the vehicle and suffered multiple injuries. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
