Abstract: At approximately 1:50 p.m. on June 7, 2006, Employee #1 was proceeding down hill on a hard packed soil covered road at a landfill remediation site which periodically was watered down to control dust. The vehicle involved is a 1996 Moxy dump truck, Model Number MT 30 R/S 3, all-wheel drive (Serial Number 1623219), Manufactured in Norway by Minni Corporation. As Employee #1 was rounding a shallow left turn he apparently began to slip sideways with the left front wheel entering a berm on the edge of the left side of the road. The center-articulating dump truck overturned causing it to rest on its left side. Employee #1 was injured when his body was thrown about the small single-seat cab, striking his head on one of several fixed objects in the cab including the steering wheel and instrument panel. Employee #1 appears to have been wearing the seat belt provided. Employee #1 suffered a broken arm and multiple head injuries, including a concussion. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
