Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on January 18, 2022, Employee #1 and Employee #2, employed by a county highway department, were working in the beds of two large dump trucks to clean sand and salt from the beds of the truck. Employee #1 was in the bed of Truck 16 with the rear discharge auger for the spreader engaged and turning. Employee #1 mis-stepped, causing Employee #1's left foot to get caught in the auger. The auger left a full-thickness avulsion injury to the left foot including the amputation of four toes. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, subsequently flown via helicopter to a second hospital, admitted and treated for reconstructive surgery.
