Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on September 13, 2001, Employee #1, working the night shift, had assumed the completion of a work order on a truck that had been started by a mechanic on the day shift. Maintenance records reflect that Employee #1 completed the installation of an air compressor. Employee #1 was found trapped under the truck with the left front wheel on his upper torso. He was positioned with his head under the truck and his feet pointing away from the truck. The truck was in reverse and the transmission was engaged which resulted in Employee #1 being drug by the front wheel. His body prevented the wheel from rolling but the vehicle moved backwards. The truck was found with the maxi-brake off and no chocks. Employee #1 died.
