Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 88400.015

Event: 09/08/2016

Employee is killed when caught between two trailers.

At approximately 2:45 p.m. on September 8, 2016, an employee hooked up the fifth wheel of a freightliner truck to a semi-trailer and pulled forward to the right several feet up a slope of about three degrees without raising the landing gear (dolly legs) of the trailer. When the employee raised the dolly legs on the refrigerated trailer, the semi rolled back down the three percent grade at an angle creating a pinch point between the trailer he had hooked up to and the trailer parked adjacent to it. The employee was caught between the two trailers causing crushing injuries to his upper body. The employee was killed.
