Investigation Summary
At 9:40 a.m. on Sunday, August 22, 2004, Employee #1, a laborer employee of D.H.Blattner & Sons, Inc.located at Tipton & Wendy Rd, Palm Springs, Ca was walking eastward on the dirt road with his back to a Ford L8000 Diesel Dump Truck 608006 that was backing in that same direction. He had just left his truck. At the same time there was a Caterpillar Excavator Model 365 BL that was approximately 19.5 feet south of the dump truck that was also moving in a eastward direction causing high ambient noise which prevented Employee #1 from hearing the backup alarm sounding from the backing dump truck. Employee #1 was struck by the center back of the dump truck and then driven over by the front wheels. The employer is a contractor for the railroad (Union Pacific).
