After Employee #1 removed the bolts and pins, the truck shifted on the jack, fell to the right, and detached from the jack. Although a coworker tried to alert Employee #1 that the truck was falling, Employee #1's upper body and torso were pinned beneath the side-mounted fuel tank and the ground. He was dead on arrival at the local hospital.
