One employee killed, one injured when struck by truck

Three employees were loading a dumpster into the City of Darlington's 1981 Ford 8000 garbage truck, license #17324, with a Pak-Mor compactor and rear end loader, R220 series. One attendant was working the controls and another was pulling the cable. When the driver got out to observe, the truck began to roll downhill. After traveling 52 ft 10 in.
