Abstract: On August 2, 2011, Employee #1, was the driver of a cement truck that was stuck in a hole of loose soil. Employee #2 used a grader and a chain to attempt to pull the cement truck but failed. Employee #2 backed another cement truck up to the front bumper of the stuck cement truck, and connected a 20 feet by 6 inch sling onto a hook at the rear of the truck. The other end of the sling was connected to the front bumper of the stuck truck. Employee #2 of the pulling cement truck drove off without taking the slack out of the sling, causing the hook to break away from the pulling cement truck. The hook traveled approximately 100 feet, fatally striking Employee #1 on the right arm and on the right side of the chest cavity.
