Abstract: Employee #1 was working beneath a Ford-350, dual-wheeled truck which was on a set of ramps. Employee #1 was beneath the vehicle and moved the transmission which allowed the vehicle to disengage from park and roll backward, pinning him between the vehicle and the ground. Employee #1 was alone at the time of the accident and was discovered by his wife when she returned home. Employee #1 was killed. The CSHO was unable to determine if the accident occurred as a work related activity or if it occurred as a domestic chore. The death was ruled accidental and an administrative decision was made to terminate the inspection.
