Abstract: At approximately 10:00 a.m. on August 25, 1993, Employee #1 was driving an empty lowboy up a logging road to load and haul out another piece of heavy equipment. He was driving a 1989 Kenworth truck tractor, pulling a 1993 General trailer. He got stuck in loose fill dirt that had previously been spread on the 17-degree grade road. He got out of the tractor a couple of times in order to operator the trailer rams, located behind the tractor rear wheels, in unsuccessful attempts to shift the load and free the truck. The third time he got out, the truck was running out of gear and the air brake was not set. Employee #1 was left-handed; therefore, his back was toward the truck. While he was operating the rams, the truck freed up and rolled backward over him, crushing him under the left tires. Employee #1 died from his injuries.
