Abstract: On June 18, 2013, an employee was working as the driver of a tractor trailer dump truck. He was delivering sand to a construction site. To reach the site where he would dump the sand, he backed his rig up a previously deposited pile of dirt. The left rear wheels of the trailer were raised approximately 2 feet (0.6 meters) above the level of the rest of the ground. With the truck not level, the employee then raised the trailer bed to dump the sand. The tractor and trailer overturned to the right side. The employee sustained bruises, contusions, and abrasions. He was transported to an emergency room, provided medical treatment, and released.
