Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a truck driver, was delivering a load of fly ash to a dump site. The trailer was overloaded. During the unloading process, Employee #1 attempted to dislodge some clumped material by "humping" the trailer, i.e., jerking it up and down. During this process, the scope which lifts the trailer in a dumping mode broke, causing the trailer to fall. As it fell, the part of the scope still intact was pushed forward, crushing the tractor and killing Employee #1.
