Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a long haul sleeper team driver for a flatbed trucking company. He and three coworkers were using a forklift to level and secure three tandem axle trailers that were mounted piggyback style on his flatbed. Employee #1 was standing on the ground on the south side of the flatbed, adjusting straps and chains with a cheater bar. The forklift, which was on the north side of the flatbed, was being used to lift the truck on the middle trailer. When a chain binding broke free Employee #1 exclaimed to another driver that he had just been struck in the chest with a cheater bar. He died of blunt force injuries to his chest. There were no witnesses to the accident, although Employee #1's wife, who was his sleeper team partner, and was asleep in their truck, was awakened by a jolt and heard Employee #1 screaming.
