Abstract: At approximately 11:25 a.m. on November 7, 1994, Employee #1 was unloading his semi-tractor trailer of wheat middlings. The trailer was a 40 ft Timpte hopper bottom. Although there were no witnesses to the accident, one person had observed the employee standing on top of the trailer edge with a broom. It is presumed that the employee somehow got into the trailer and was engulfed by the flowing material. He was asphyxiated and died.
