Abstract: On July 25, 1997, Employee #1 was working alone on a 1991 Plymouth Acclaim automobile. The car was apparently suspended by a hydraulic bumper lift at the front when the bumper appears to have given way. The automobile fell off the lift jack, pinning Employee #1 beneath it. The vehicle tie rod struck his head and the shock/strut struck his chest. Employee #1 was killed. When Employee #1 was found by a neighbor, the automobile was in park, and the lift jack was still in the raised position in front of the damaged bumper.
