Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:29 a.m. on November 4, 2013, Employee #1, with Whitetail Welding, was picking up tie down straps that had just been removed from a load on a flatbed truck. A steel I-beam with attached guardrail became unsteady and fell, striking Employee #1 on the head and then pinning him at the midsection. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries. At the same time, Employee #2, from another contractor that was not named, fell off the truck and was struck by the beam. Employee #2 was hospitalized with a fractured ankle.
