Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a flatbed truck driver, was dumping debris at a landfill. The truck bed was partially raised when it stopped for some reason. Employee #1 apparently noticed a severed steel control cable leading to the power take-off. He had positioned himself between the raised bed and the truck frame to repair the cable when the bed lowered, crushing and killing him. Employee #1 may have moved the hydraulic linkage lever while under the raised bed. There were no witnesses to the accident.
