Driver Loses Control of Pickup Truck and Is Killed

On January 25, 2006, an employee was driving a company pick-up truck down a steep paved road. When the driver realized that the braking system was inoperative, he tried to stop the truck by driving it on the right side road embankment, without success. The truck hit a boulder and veered to the left side of the road. It came to a stop alongside the guardrail. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
