Investigation Summary
There were no eyewitnesses to this accident. Employee #1, an 81-year-old semi driver was struck and killed by another truck in an adjacent lane. Employee #1 was exiting the facility with a load of seed. Upon entering and exiting the facility, drivers must stop their vehicle, exit it and proceed to an administration building to get a weight ticket. There are as many as four lines of vehicles (two entering and two exiting) during the busy harvest season. Employee #1 apparently walked directly in front of the adjacent driver's vehicle just as that driver began to move the vehicle forward to exit the lot. Speed was not a factor, in that it appears that the truck had only moved a few feet prior to impact. Employee #1 was dragged approximately 25 ft. The driver of the truck that struck Employee #1 continued on his way to another location, because he did not know he had hit anyone. The vehicle directly behind the first vehicle also struck Employee #1. The driver of that vehicle stated that he felt a bump and got out of the truck and found Employee #1 dead.
