Employee crushed against giant tire by pickup truck

At approximately 8:50 a.m. on May 4, 2000, Employee #1, a flagger for the Oregon Department of Transportation, was at a site on Highway 395, south of Dale, OR. She was finishing her break and leaning against the left rear tire of an earth mover parked in a turnout from the highway, when a 1-ton, flatbed, crew-cab pickup truck drove slowly past her. The pickup passed too closely and it crushed and rolled her against the large tire. She only fell to the ground when the pickup rolled her past the tire. Employee #1 suffered a fractured pelvis, hip, and tailbone, and was transported by ambulance to St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton, OR.
