Abstract: Employee #1 was a passenger in a truck when the driver noticed that the window on his side was vibrating. The driver left the vehicle to run inside a building and pick up a piece of insulation to put it in the window and stop the vibration. When he left, Employee #1 was still sitting in the passenger seat. When he returned three to four minutes later, the truck had rolled down a slight incline. Employee #1's body was found crushed against a large metal dumpster on the driver's side. There were no witnesses to this accident.
