Investigation Summary
At 8:53 a.m. on December 7, 2018, Employee #1, the operator of a TLD cargo towing tractor, exited the driver's side and moved to the front of the vehicle. A coworker, the passenger, slid over from the passenger seat into the driver's seat. During this move the coworker's foot hit the accelerator, possibly getting stuck between the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, causing the tug to move forward jumping a curb and striking Employee #1. The vehicle struck a wall crushing Employee #1 between the tug and the wall. Employee #1 was transported to the local hospital and eventually passed away.
