Investigation Summary
At 9:30 p.m. on July 11, 2022, Employee #1 was loading pipes at the Port of Stockton. Each pipe measured 3-inch in diameter, 21-feet in length. The pipes were bundled, 16 pipes in each bundle. Employee #1 asked the longshoreman to correct the load, as it was uneven and appeared unstable. The longshoreman refused. Employee #1 strapped the load down to the trailer. Three straps were utilized - front, middle and rear. Employee #1 drove the load a short distance across the street to the employer's yard to be unloaded by forklifts. Employee #1 began to remove the straps. Employee #1 removed the first strap close to the truck cab first. Employee #1 began to loosen the tension of the strap at the rear of the trailer. A bundle of pipes fell from the trailer onto Employee #1. Employee #1's left leg femoral artery was severed. The left leg was amputated above the knee. Employee #1 was pronounced dead on July 25, 2022 at 1:40 p.m. due to complications from injuries.
