Investigation Summary
On December 21, 2004, Employee #1, working for Dobson Bros. Construction Co. 0.25 mile north of Highway 13 Spur and Highway 81 in Norfolk, NE, was collecting asphalt rubble from a highway paving operation. At the time of the incident, Employee #1 was walking north on the shoulder of a closed section of Highway 81. He walked into the path of a 1994 Ford LT8000F Tandem dump truck that was reversing toward a rubble pile. Employee #1 was struck by the truck and run over by the rear wheels. Employee #1 died at the scene. Potential causal factors of the accident include Employee #1's lack of highly visible/reflective clothing, obstructed visibility from his hood and stocking cap and the failure to hear the functioning back-up alarm of the truck due to the hood and stocking cap and adjacent noise.
