Investigation Summary
At 11:00 a.m. on October 1, 2015, an employee was killed as a result of being crushed between two dump trucks. After having his truck loaded with asphalt, the employee drove approximately 200 yards away from the loading area when he noticed that his tailgate was not shut all the way. He unsuccessfully tried clearing loose material from the tailgate to shut the latch. The employee asked a coworker to use his truck to force the tailgate shut. The coworker began backing his truck towards the tailgate of the employee's truck at a 45 degree angle while the employee was using hand signals. The driver felt the trucks touch, and when he looked in the rear view mirror he saw the employee fall to the side. The employee was killed as a result of being crushed.
