Investigation Summary
At 11:30 a.m. on September 15, 2023, an employee operating an air wand for a road paving and surfacing company was cleaning out road cracks with compressed air. The employee was standing in front of a Ford F250 Truck towing the compressor. Coworker #1 was working from the bed of the tow vehicle operating a heat torch connected to a propane tank. Coworker #2 was operating the truck and appeared to fall asleep when he inadvertently stepped on the gas pedal. Coworker #2 lost control of the truck and ran over the employee. Coworker #1 was not injured. The employee amputated his leg and sustained multiple fractures and died.
