Investigation Summary
On March 3, 2022, an employee was working as a truck driver for a firm that treated and disposed of nonhazardous waste. He drove heavy trucks and tractor-trailers. As he was driving, his truck was struck by or ran into some overhead fiber optic cable. The driver's door of the truck was pinned shut by the cables. The employee climbed out of the truck's cab through the window and onto the cab. While attempting to dislodge the cable, he fell 9 feet (2.7 meters) to the ground. He suffered a severe head injury.
