Investigation Summary
On February 28, Southwest Transportation Drivers #1 and #2 were transporting water from a newly fractured well and disposing it into a separate disposal well located 5 miles away. They were operating separate vacuum trucks; both were delivering their first load of water to the disposal well site. Driver #2 was the transportation Forman for Southwest Transportation and Driver #1 was hired the day before to help out with transport. Driver#1 arrived to the disposal well first and was hooking the load line to the filter pot of the well. Driver #2 arrived shortly after and parked his truck at the entrance and walked over to help Driver #1 with the hook up. Driver #2 went back to his truck and observed Driver #1 walk onto the cat walk of the vacuum tank. Driver #2's view of Driver #1 was blocked by the vacuum tank and could not see what he was doing. A few minutes passed by and Driver #2 noticed there was no activity taking place so he went back to check on Driver #1. When he approached the vacuum truck, he noticed Drier #1 lying on the ground with severe head injuries and one of the hatch lids to the vacuum tank lying on the ground. Driver #1 was killed.
