Investigation Summary
At 3:00 pm on June 6, 2015, Employee #1 went to the yard where vehicles are stored from being towed or impounded, and was attempting to relocate a Ford F250 burned out vehicle to another location in the yard. The burned out truck had severe fire damage, which prevented the vehicle from being shifted into neutral. Employee #1 pulled a Chevy tow truck over and backed it up to the F-250 which was to be moved to another location in the yard. The employee used one (1) J hook from the tow truck to attach the F250s front driver side bumper to raise it to gain access to the shift linkage on the transmission beneath the truck. After raising the vehicle, Employee #1 then knelt down just behind the driver's side front wheel and leaned under the Ford F250 to disengage the shift linkage utilizing a screwdriver and a jack handle. When the shift linkage was moved, the vehicles weight shifted and the F-250 became unsecured from the tow truck, crushing and killing the employee.
