Investigation Summary

At approximately 9:45 a.m. on November 6, 2007, an employee was watching the tow truck driver unload a car with a jammed transmission from the tilting flat bed of his vehicle. The employee informed the tow truck operator that he had a tool to unlock the transmission and without further conversation, the employee retrieved a key from the office. Without telling the tow truck operator what he was doing, he reached into the car's consul and released the transmission with the key. The car, still on the slack winch line, went forward while the employee was still part way in the car. The vehicle slid from the flatbed and struck another vehicle trapping and injuring the employee. The employee was not hospitalized.
