Investigation Summary
On August 7, 2005, an employee was lying on the bed of a dump truck greasing the universal joints while the truck's body was raised. The dump body fell and struck the employee, crushing him to death. The truck was equipped with a safety-blocking bar that would have prevented the dump body from falling. However, it was not used.
