Abstract: On November 19, 2003, Employee #1 and his coworker, a staff member, were hand-loading loose, flattened cardboard into a 2 1/2 ton truck.

The staff member was able to free himself. Employee #1 was buried head-first up to his ankles by sliding cardboard and pinned in the front corner of the truck box. He could not be freed without removal of the cardboard. Employee #1 had no pulse when checked by paramedics at the scene.
