Employee #1 attempted to board and enter the tractor cab on the driver's side. The tractor brushed against another trailer to its left, crushing Employee #1's torso between the partially opened door and the cab frame. The tractor, which had moved at a slow to moderate speed, came to rest against another trailer, with minimal damage to either. Employee #1 died.
