Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:45 a.m. on February 18, 2002, Employee #1 was maintaining the road surface of a traffic lane at a highway construction site. After directing traffic on the north bound lane around the work zone, he started to spread sand upon an asphalt repair area when a dump truck struck him. The dump truck was exceeding the work zone speed limit while backing up to deliver a load of sand. The impact of the truck caused Employee #1 to suffer multiple fractures in legs, a ruptured spleen, a fractured hip and neck, and abdominal trauma with internal bleeding. Employee #1 died due to complications from these multiple injuries.
