Employee killed in garbage truck accident

On November 10, 1999, Employee #1 was driving a Peterbilt side-loading garbage truck south on Highway 99 when he failed to stop in time and rear-ended a Mazda sedan. The truck veered right and Employee #1 corrected the vehicle's direction by turning left. The centrifugal force pitched him out of the truck and he landed on the pavement. He sustained massive head injuries and died at the hospital the following day. Employee #1 was in the right-hand driving position; he was not wearing a seat belt.
