Investigation Summary

At 10:00 a.m. on September 7, 2022, an employee was driving a semi-truck while transporting a load from Manteca to Los Angeles, CA. The employee stopped at a service station in Madera, CA, but after this stop there was no further response from the employee when contacted by his employer. The employer used the truck's GPS to track his location down and determined that the employee's semi-truck was still parked at the service station lot. The employer contacted a coworker with the trucking company and dispatched him to the station to check on the employee. When the coworker arrived, he found the employee's truck unlocked and the employee unresponsive inside of it. The coworker called 9-1-1 and when emergency medical services arrived, they declared the employee dead. The coroner's office report indicated that the employee was killed by cardiac arrest due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
