Abstract: At 4:15 p.m. on November 18, 2014, Employee #1, a truck driver, had completed his work day. As he parked his work vehicle in the company lot and began walking towards his supervisors office, another truck that was entering the lot struck and killed him. The incident investigation, and subsequent interview of the truck driver that struck the employee, indicated that visibility was poor leading up to the incident. While the truck driver had both his headlights and four-way flashers, he did not see Employee #1 until he began backing his vehicle into a designated parking spot. It was at that point, he observed in his side mirror that Employee #1 was lying on the ground. The truck driver immediately exited his vehicle and contacted emergency services. Employee #1 was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was determined dead as a result of blunt force trauma injuries to his chest and rib cage.
