Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:45 p.m. on June 23, 1992, Employee #1 began to walk from the east fence area across the parking lot. A driver began to back up a bus from the east fence area to the touch-up area. Employee #1 was behind the bus in the driver's blind spot. A coworker tried to signal the driver and Employee #1, but neither heard the signal. The bus struck Employee #1, knocking him to the ground. Employee #1 attempted to roll out of the way but was crushed by the rear tires of the bus. Employee #1 sustained internal injuries and was later pronounced dead. Causal factors include failure to have an employee signal to the driver that it is safe to back up.
