Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:22 a.m. on January 12, 1998, Employee #1 was driving a 1997 Toyota pickup northbound on State Route 599. On an overpass, the truck struck ice, skidded into a Westar tanker truck in the right lane, and then traveled across the median into the southbound lanes, where it struck head-on a Freightliner semi-tractor with one trailer. Employee #1 suffered cerebral lacerations with multiple facial fractures, abrasions, contusions, and lacerations. He was killed. The road was icy and the weather was cloudy. Witnesses estimated that Employee #1 was driving between 40 to 45 mph, which the State Highway Patrol said was an excessive speed for the icy conditions. He was not wearing a seat belt.
