Abstract: At approximately 11:15 a.m. on June 6, 2003, Employee #1 was operating a Buffalo-Springfield nine-wheeled rubber roller to lay asphalt on a private rural road near Palermo, CA. When he began to feel like he needed to eat due to his diabetic condition, he pulled off the road. While Employee #1 was backing to get out of the path of other trucks, the roller machine rolled onto its left side into a grassy area. Employee#1, who had been wearing his seatbelt, was hospitalized at Oroville Hospital for a fractured knee and bruises.
