Investigation Summary
On April 11, 2006, Employee #1 was the driver of a dump truck, sitting in his cab and waiting to dump his load. A coworker in another truck was in position to dump his 22-ton load, and Employee #1 positioned the cab of his truck next to the bed of the coworker's truck. As the bed of the coworker's truck was raised to the dumping position, approximately 16 tons of the 22 tons remained stuck to the flat bed. Suddenly, the hoist to that truck broke, causing the truck bed to fall to the side onto the cab in which Employee #1 was sitting. Employee #1 sustained a concussion, and he was killed.
