Employee injured when struck by out-of-control truck

At approximately 9:20 a.m. on April 11, 1991, Employee #1 was working as a flagman on Highway 299, approximately 2.7 miles east of Hatchet Summit. An out-of-control tractor trailer ran through the established traffic control system, struck two stopped vehicles, and ran up the incline on the right side of the road. Employee #1 was running away from the truck, but it struck her before rolling over on its left side. Employee #1 was rushed to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, where she was treated for a broken neck and other injuries. Caltrans traffic control was found to be in compliance. The Highway Patrol investigation team found that the truck brakes were totally defective.
