At 11:25 p.m. on May 5, 2005, Employee #1, working at the Trident Seafood freezer facility in North Naknek, Alaska, stepped into freezer lane Number 4 between several large fish freezing carts to dislodge a fish cart in lane Number 5. While between a structural member of the building and a fish cart in lane Number 4, a cart was advanced by a hydraulic ram at the beginning of lane Number 4, causing 10-11 other carts containing frozen fish to move forward in lane Number 4. The leading fish cart closest to Employee #1 advanced in the lane, crushing the employee between the structural member and fish cart. He was transported to Anchorage's Providence Medical Center Emergency clinic, where he died from his injuries. | |||||||
