Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was backing up a seal coat applicator buggy at his employer's yard. As he applied pressure to the throttle pedal, the rod linking the pedal to a hydraulic control cylinder came loose at the cylinder because there was no locking nut on the bolt connecting the rod to the ram. The machine went into top reverse speed and ran into a lowboy trailer in the yard. Employee #1 sustained serious back and internal injuries. He was transported to Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield, where he was admitted for treatment.
