Investigation Summary
At 9:15 a.m. on April 3, 2013, Employee #1 was standing on the loading dock. As an incoming tractor trailer backed up to the dock, the employee either jumped down from the dock to close the doors and secure the load bar or he may have fallen from the dock between the trailer and the dock. Employee #1 was pinned between the dock and the back of the semi-truck, sustaining crushing injuries to his chest and abdomen, killing him.
