Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:45 a.m. on April 8, 2013, Employee #1, a sanitation laborer, and a coworker, a commercial vehicle licensed driver, were performing residential solid waste collection using a 2010 American LaFrance sanitation truck equipped with a Heil DuraPack 5000 Rear Loader packer. The coworker was operating the truck in reverse while the employee was at an undetermined location on the rear of the truck. Employee #1 became pinned between the right side of the truck and a tree when the coworker was backing up. The coworker drove forward and Employee #1 fell to the ground and was crushed by the right tire of the front tandem pusher axle. Employee #1 was transported to an area hospital via ambulance, where he was pronounced dead.
