Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170614564
Event: 02/21/1996
Flagman killed when struck by car

At 12:38 p.m. on February 21, 1996, Employee #1, of the Yuba County Public Works Department, was one of two flagmen controlling traffic in both lanes while a 1986 Ford 655A front end loader/backhoe was working in one of the lanes. The backhoe's beacon light was working, creating good visibility on the straight section where Employee #1 was standing. A young driver ignored the standard construction warning signs and struck Employee #1, then continued and collided with the bucket of the backhoe. Employee #1 died of multiple trauma and the backhoe operator was uninjured. The fatality was caused by the driver's failure to heed the warning signs and Employee #1's hand held sign.
