Employee is killed when crushed between two construction tru

At 5:09 p.m. on March 30, 2021, Employee #1 and Coworkers #1 and #2, employed by a company engaged in construction traffic control, were installing a traffic control sign. Employee #1 was standing on the road between two stopped trucks, one driven by Coworker #1 and the other driven by Coworker #2. Coworker #1's foot slipped off the truck's brake pedal and onto the accelerator pedal, which caused the truck he was operating to move forward. The truck struck Employee #1, who was pinned between the two trucks. Employee #1 sustained blunt force traumatic crushing injuries. Emergency medical services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
