It was believed, that Employee #1, jumped from the machine, having been unable to steer or brake the machine, and as it gained speed going downhill. Employee #1 then stood next to a 3,000 tank truck at the foot of the hill. However, the machine veered left and off the driveway and in the direction of Employee #1. It proceeded downhill approximately 296 ft, where it struck and pinned him between the equipment, which resulted in his death.
