Investigation Summary
On March 17, 2008, Employee #1, tow truck driver, was chaining a wrecked vehicle to the upper deck of a tow truck. He was standing on the lower deck of the truck and grasping the door handle to pull himself up and hook a securing chain to the frame of the vehicle. Employee #1 lost his grip and fell approximately 7 ft to the ground, breaking ribs, puncturing a lung and breaking his pelvis. He was transported to a hospital, where he died of his injuries five days later.
