Investigation Summary
At 6:00 a.m., just as it was getting light, Employee #1, a truck driver, was inspecting a load of wooden trusses that a coworkers had just loaded onto his flatbed truck. He was starting to tie down the load when the forklift driver caught his mast on the edge of several trusses as he was driving away. Two of them slid off of the load and hit the pavement. Employee #1 was trying to jump away from the spill when one of the trusses slid sideways and struck his lower left leg above the ankle. He sustained a severe fracture, for which he was hospitalized.
