Abstract: Employee #1, an iron worker foreman, was dispatched with 3 coworkers to repair a powered industrial truck.

Although safe means existed for Employee #1 and the coworkers to be transferred to the work site, they did not use them, nor did they use proper traffic control procedures for crossing at night. While crossing, Employee #1 was struck and killed by an automobile.
