Investigation Summary
At 9:00 a.m. on November 17, 2017, an employee was torch cutting the axle of a loader truck while a pressurized tire was still installed on the rim. The pressurized tire got into fire which caused the tire to blow out. The worker was struck and killed by a projectile of the outer lip of the rim on the upper body which tore his body vertically in half and was found 150 feet away from the location of the incident.
