Employee Is Caught Between Two Trucks and Is Killed

On May 20, 2011, Employee #1 had backed up his truck to a trailer of another truck for offloading used appliances. He placed his truck's manual transmission into neutral and applied its hand parking brake, and then exited the vehicle while it was running. Employee #1 walked to the back of the other truck and was standing between the truck and trailer with his back to his truck. He opened the doors on the trailer, and his truck rolled back, crushing and killing him between the two trucks.
