Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on October 18, 2002, Employee #1, a maintenance leader, was standing in front of a Ford F250 pickup, Number A542, California plate Number 1012385. A coworker parked a GMC diesel 6000 paint stripper truck, Number B516, California plate Number 001404, and was moving pallets and traffic cones, when he noticed the GMC truck rolling and jumped inside the truck but was unable to stop it. The trucks air brakes would not operate with the engine shut off. Another coworker saw the GMC coming at Employee #1, who was 25 ft away, and shouted to him. Employee #1 looked over his shoulders and was struck by the GMC truck and pinned at the thighs between both trucks. He suffered torn ligaments in both thighs.
