Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on July 24, 1990, Employee #1 and a coworker, both state inspectors, were setting up equipment to do a routine, unannounced soil compaction test. Employee #1 was kneeling down to perform his test while the second inspector observed the test procedure and acted as a lookout for equipment in the area. As the second inspector stood watching heavy haulage-truck traffic coming from the west, another vehicle, a tri-axle tandem dump truck, coming from the east, backed into the employees. Employee #1 was crushed and killed. The second inspector was bumped, but not hurt. The truck had no reverse signal alarm.
