Investigation Summary
On May 6, 2004, an employee was picking up a load of oranges in a citrus harvest with a semi-trailer. The trailer got stuck on the sand in front of the harvest and was pulled by another truck, a goat truck, using a vehicle recovery strap attached to both vehicles with shackles on each end. While pulling the shackle on the "goat" truck snapped and went through the semi- trailer's windshield hitting the employee's head and killing him instantly.
