THE CRANE OPERATOR LIFTED THE LOAD AND BEGAN BACKING UP. EMPLOYEE #1 PICKED UP A BOLT AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN THE CRANE'S TOOL BOX, ATTACHED TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHEN HE WAS RUN OVER BY THE CRANE'S LEFT FRONT WHEEL. HE WAS CRUSHED TO DEATH. IT WAS APPARENTLY A REGULAR PRACTICE FOR EMPLOYEES TO PUT OBJECTS IN THE CRANE'S TOOL BOX WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION.
