Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was a senior engineering technician responsible for inspecting city construction projects in Cedar Falls, IA. At the time of the accident, he was visiting a roadway that was being milled down for resurfacing; the road work, in this case, was being done by a public contractor and not by city employees. Traffic on the roadway was reduced to one lane. Employee #1 was apparently walking eastward on the roadway when he was run over and killed by a 25 ton dump truck that was backing up in the same direction. There were no witnesses to the accident. Employee #1 was not wearing an orange protective vest, and the audible back-up alarm may not have been working properly.
