Employee #1 tripped on the track switch, causing him to fall onto the tracks, where he was fatally struck by the train. Employee #1 was dragged approximately 260 feet underneath the train before it stopped. He sustained crushing injuries and amputation of the left lower extremities, resulting in death.
