Abstract: At 7:00 a.m. on July 26, 1993, Employee #1 was underneath his van attaching a tow cable. A skip loader was nearby waiting for the cable to be attached so that it could tow the van. The van was overloaded and could not drive up the steep slope to the loader, so the skip loader's driver backed up to the van. The skip loader lost its braking power and rolled over Employee #1, killing him instantly. The body was taken to the Los Angeles Coroner's office.
