At approximately 3:15 p.m. on August 24, 1995, Employee #1, a tree trimming groundsman, was assisting the trimming crew foreman in moving the trailer mounted slash and clipping chipper to another location.

After moving the truck and trailer forward approximately 30 ft and dismounting, the foreman observed Employee #1 lying on the ground on the right side of the trailer. Employee #1 said that he had been attempting to check the oil level of the chipper motor when the right wheel struck and ran over him. He was hospitalized with an injured arm. The gross weight of the chipper trailer was approximately 4,360 lb. No T8CCR violation was cited.
