Employee #1, a groundsman for a road milling machine, was walking toward the milling machine, which was in position to start another cut in the road. At the same time, a 14-wheel dump truck and a tractor trailer were backing up to the milling machine. Employee #1 walked across the path of the tractor truck and was struck by the right rear wheels of the dump trailer. He was killed. The tractor trailer did not have a back-up alarm, and there was no observers to signal the drivers that it was safe to operate their vehicles in reverse.
