Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was riding on the back of a trailer with a flashing advertisement sign. The sign was tied down on the trailer. Employee #1 had his hands on the sign to keep it stable during transport to a local club located about a mile from the worksite. The pick-up truck pulling the trailer was traveling 15 mph to 20 mph. A tractor trailer was approaching the pick-up truck in the adjacent lane of the two lane state highway. As the tractor trailer passed the pick-up truck the wind from the 18-wheel truck and the wind from the storm picked up the flashing sign and Employee #1 from the trailer. The sign and Employee #1 were lifted approximately 10 ft in the air and crashed to the ground. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene.
