Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. in northwest San Antonio, Employee #1 and a coworker were measuring a large sign that was to be replaced. Employee #1 was in the bucket of an aerial lift giving measurements to his helper, who was standing on the bed of the truck. Employee #1 was retracting the aerial lift when the coworker heard a snap and saw the bucket go up and the ladder go down. Employee #1 was thrown from the basket, fell 30 to 35 feet, and sustained severe injuries to his head and chest. He was transported by EMS to the hospital, where he died 3 hours later.
