The vehicle rolled 175 ft from the wood pile down a gravel road, crossed it, and went partially up an embankment. It then rolled back down into a ditch, crushing Employee #1 below the rear bumper/trailer hitch assembly. There were no witnesses to the accident. It is believed that he chased the vehicle down the hill and was trying to get it to stop when he was killed.
