Employee Is Killed When Crushed Between Trucks

At approximately 1:15 p.m. on April 4, 2006, Employee #1, an equipment operator, and two coworkers were filling pot holes with cold mix from the rear of an asphalt truck on a highway. They were being protected by a shadow (safety) vehicle, as they repaired the road. During their work, the shadow truck was struck from behind by a flatbed tow truck, causing the truck to plow into Employee #1 at the rear of the asphalt truck. He was pinned between the two trucks and sustained traumatic injuries that killed him.
