A coworker stated that about ten minutes before the incident occurred, Employee #1 came to the second shop to get a screw driver and pressure gauge. After a couple of minutes the coworker went down stairs to check on the Employee #1, and noticed that Employee #1 was shaking and pulled him from under the vehicle.
