Abstract: On June 30, 2003, Employees #1 and #2 were in the front seat of a Suburban truck at a landfill, while another employee unloaded material from an attached trailer. Nearby, a tractor had raised a 34-foot dump trailer to dump its load. The tractor and dump trailer overturned when most of the material in trailer did not slide out, causing it to become off-center. The trailer landed on the Suburban truck, crushing and killing Employees #1 and #2. The other employee had noticed the dump trailer turning over, jumped clear, and was unharmed.
