Investigation Summary

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on April 17, 2009, Employee #1, a landscaper, was operating a service cart. He was returning from a service location on campus with a coworker. His right foot protruded outside the running lines of the vehicle while he drove. As they drove between two guard posts on a campus road, his right foot struck the post and pulled his right leg between the post and the service cart, fracturing his right femur. He was transported to a medical center, where he received treatment and was hospitalized.
