Investigation Summary
At 2:00 p.m. on August 25, 2020, Employee #1 was harvesting almonds, and he was in the process of entering another row at the edge of the almond field. However, the mechanic's truck was parked at the edge of the field, where the harvester needed to reenter the field. A coworker had gone to dump a load of almonds to the opposite side of the field. As the coworker was going in reverse, he did not see that Employee #1 was at the edge of the orchard trying to get out, and he struck Employee #1 with the bank out wagon he was operating. Employee #1 suffered a fracture of the lower left tibia and was hospitalized.
