Employee Is Struck and Killed by Truck Load

On June 25, 2010, Employee #1, a truck driver, and four coworkers were preparing to unload 11 wall panels from a truck with a large skid steer forklift machine. Each panel weighed 1200 lb and was positioned standing up on the truck bed. Employee #1 began untying the nylon straps that were holding the load when a loud snap occurred. The insufficiently supported panels then all tipped over and pinned Employee #1 to the ground. Employee #1 sustained traumatic and crushing injuries, including severe fractures that killed him.
