Employee Is Killed When Struck by Dislodged Rock

On March 9, 2012, Employee #1 was excavating rock at the edge of the speedway parking lot. Employee #2, the dump truck driver, got out of the truck to check the rear gate of the dump truck.

When Employee #1 saw Employee #2 at the tail gate of the truck, he stopped suddenly and a rock dislodged from the bucket of the track hoe and struck Employee #2 in the head. The employee was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
