Employee killed when caught between jack-knifed trailers

At 2:45 p.m. on October 8, 1990, an amusement troupe was preparing to depart the Tulsa State Fairgrounds by fleet vehicles. A driver left a tractor with the engine running and tandem trailers unattended on a lot with a slight incline without setting the parking brake. Employee #1 was working on the trailer systems between the tandem trailers when the unit started rolling backward. The second trailer jackknifed and caught and crushed Employee #1, who was between the pinching trailers. EMS and an ambulance responded; however, Employee #1 died before reaching the hospital.
