Abstract: On the night of September 17, 2013, Employee #1, of Synergy Project Management, Inc., was involved in a highway paving operation. He was assigned to remove temporary traffic control markers while seated in a makeshift chair on the tailgate of a flatbed truck. No temporary traffic controls were in place. An attenuator truck was following the flatbed truck for protection. The attenuator truck failed to stop and rear-ended the flatbed truck, striking Employee #1. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for amputation of his legs.
