Investigation Summary
On May 20, 2008, Employee #1 was spotting for a driver, who was operating a 78 ft water tanker semi-truck. The driver was backing up the semi-truck trailer between a 400-barrel tank on the left side and a dirt hill with portable toilets on the right side. Employee #1 had been spotting from the right side of the truck where the driver had a clear view of him, but he suddenly went behind the truck to the other side while the truck was moving. The driver lost sight of Employee #1 as he was looking back and forth between his mirrors and was not aware that the spotter had went behind his truck trailer. Employee #1 was caught between the trailer and water tank. He sustained traumatic crushing injuries that killed him.
