At approximately 12:05 p.m. on May 1, 2001, Employee #1 was working in the right lane of the westbound lanes of a four lane Parkway using a gas powered lawn edger to edge the grass at the curb. Employee #1 was walking in westward with his back to oncoming traffic as he edged the lawn. Employee #1 was struck from behind while edging the lawn by a 1993 Chevrolet Truck traveling at an estimated speed of 45 mph, which was the posted speed limit.
