The canopy was supported by a steel column outside the terminal building that was located between loading docks. Four round, approximately 50 in. tall concrete posts surrounded the column to protect it from being struck by the trailers. As a loaded tractor trailer pulled out of the dock, Employee #1 became caught between the trailer and one of the concrete posts. He was crushed and killed.
