Abstract: On May 6, 1993, Employee #1 was operating a Euclid water truck, model # MTTS, serial #80-1560, on an unapproved, non-permitted mine access road. The vehicle was operated off county- and state-controlled roads. Employee #1's vision was obstructed because of the design of the vehicle and he was unable to assess the position of the vehicle's right wheels in relation to the edge of the road shoulder. The road shoulder sloughed off, causing the vehicle's center of gravity to shift. The vehicle rolled 180 degrees and came to rest upside down. Employee #1 was fatally crushed. Employee #1 had worked for the company for over 4 years. He had been given 45 minutes of undocumented training with no practical driver exercise. The employee had operated the vehicle on numerous occasions.
