Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:00 a.m. on July 9, 1998, Employee #1 assisted by Employee #2 was attempting to load a street sweeper onto a roll back flat bed truck. The bed of the truck measured 24 ft 6 inches long by 8 ft 0.25 inches wide by 5 ft 0.75 inches high. The street sweeper measured 7 ft 8.5 inches long by 4 ft 10 inches wide by 4 ft 3 inches high and weighed 5,200 lbs. Employee #2 was operating the controls which raise and lower the truck bed by tilting it towards the ground.

Just before the bed of the truck reached the horizontal position the sweeper rolled backward and off the side of the truck, pinning Employee #1 to the ground. Employee #1 received rib and pelvic fractures with Hem thoraces and Hem peritoneum due to a blunt impact to the torso. Employee #1 died.
