Abstract: On November 21, 1997, Employee #1, a mechanic, was directed to assemble a crated motorcycle that was stacked under another crated motorcycle in a garage/warehouse. After using a truck to move the top crate to the rear yard, he made a tight left turn to better approach the remaining crate and move it into the assembly area of the garage. According to a witness, the truck tilted over to the right and landed on its side, crushing Employee #1's head. He was killed instantly. Subsequent investigation determined that the accident was an isolated incident resulting from employee misconduct.
