Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of Jet Concrete, was behind a concrete traffic control barrier, cleaning the reflectors on top of the barriers. Texas Department of Transportation (DOT) had requested the contractor clean the reflectors because mud had been thrown on them following recent rains. A truck passed by hauling a semi-trailer rig loaded with wooden trusses that extended 4 ft over the right side of the trailer. As the trailer passed Employee #1, he was struck in the head by the overhanging load and was killed. The load on the truck was in compliance with overload permit requirements, and the traffic control barrier was in position as designed by the Texas DOT. The overhang of the load was just far enough to strike Employee #1 as he stood near the traffic control barrier on the side opposite the traffic lane.
