Abstract: At approximately 11:30 a.m. on October 3, 2016, Employee #1, an employee/contractor driver was delivering bundles of pvc piping to a city storage yard. Employee #1, a 24 year old truck driver, met with another coworker, an operator to unload the pipe from the trailer. The coworker had unloaded the back end of the trailer and began unloading the front stage of piping on the passenger's side of the trailer. Employee #1, the driver, was observed at the front of the truck, as the lift began. During the lift, the piping the shifted, bumping the other bundles of pipes stacked on the left/drivers side of the truck bed. The entire load shifted and the piping broke away striking and pinning the employee/driver underneath the load. The coworker was unaware that the driver was struck by the load until the coworker crossed the rear of the truck finding the driver under the load. The coworker lifted the piping off of the truck driver and called 911. Employee #1 was unconscious and bleeding from his head. The employee was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead.
