Employee #1 sustained multiple trauma injuries to his neck and head. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his injuries. The dirt road at the accident site was inadequate due to a 5-ft to 6-ft ditch opposite the embankment, affecting the safe control of the truck. The dirt road was not maintained free of ditches or holes for the safe operation of large flatbed truck with the heavy loads.
