Investigation Summary
At 1:00 a.m. on September 28, 2023, Employee #1 was assisting with water tank truck filling operations. There were two people involved in the process. Upon noticing an overflow, the pair rushed out to the truck, and a coworker shut off the hydrant while Employee #1 went to the rear of the truck. Once the hydrant was off, Employee #1 released the cam lock on the hydrant hose without first closing the intake port on the truck. This caused water to exit the port where the 3-inch hose had been unlocked, pressurized by the weight of the water coming through the opening. The force of the water caused Employee #1 to be struck in the head by the hose and fall backwards onto the pavement. Employee #1 was killed due to blunt force head injuries.
