Investigation Summary
On October 14, 2002, a highway construction crew was waiting for a transport truck to deliver a load of lime pellets to the jobsite location so they could spread them along a stretch of new construction. The transport truck driver was given directions by the Project Superintendent on where he should back up. The transport truck driver began his unloading run and when he got to the end, there were still lime pellets in the trailer to dump. The driver talked to the Project Superintendent by radio and was told to back up and begin another short unloading run. The driver began backing up when Employee #1, the blademan, ran down the new construction roadway waving his arms and indicating the driver to stop. The driver struck and killed Employee #1.
