Investigation Summary
At about 2:05 a.m. on November 9, 1990, Employee #1, an agent for Continental Airlines at Los Angeles International Airport, was driving a baggage tractor. A coworker was riding with him, even though the tractor did not have a seat for a passenger. The tractor struck a blast fence, and overturned, pinning Employee #1's foot. Paramedics took him to UCLA Medical Center, where part of his right foot was later amputated. Subsequent investigation indicated that the employees were using a vehicle equipped for a driver only, and that Employee #1 may have been distracted by the coworker talking to him. The area around the fence was not well lit. The company will re-instruct its employees and a guardrail will be installed.
