Abstract: On June 30, 2009, Employee #1 was guiding the operator of a milling machine into position to begin milling an asphalt highway exit ramp during a nighttime paving operation. As the work occurred, he would walk in front of the machine and out of the operators view. He needed to mark the highway and bent down to demarcate it, when the left track of the milling machine struck him and knocked him down. The operator came to a stop on Employee #1's right leg before being told he had hit someone. Employee #1 suffered a foot and partial lower right leg amputation. He was transported to a medical center, where he underwent treatment and surgery, and then was hospitalized.
