Employee killed when struck by roller coaster

Employee #1 was using a weedeater to cut tall grass beneath the tracks of the Shooting Star roller coaster at Lakeside Amusement Park. He was in the center of the track and two coworkers were on the outside, one on each side of the track. Employee #1 had to be in the track in order to cut the grass because the 22 in. elevated track prevented workers on the outside from reaching it. The maintenance crew was test running the roller coaster and had warned all other personnel in the area to clear the tracks, but had failed to see Employee #1 and his two coworkers. The coaster was started and struck the employee at approximately 38 mph, killing him.
