Abstract: On June 6, 2005, Employee #1, a dump truck driver, was delivering a load of asphalt to a highway repair site. He stopped to help the operator of a second dump truck that had broken down on the highway. They were both lying on the ground under the rear of the inoperable dump truck trying to fix an air line or brake line. When the truck's gate partially opened, hot asphalt was dumped on Employee #1's torso and legs, killing him. The other driver was airlifted to a hospital for treatment of burns.
