Incident on Feb 26, 2015 (fatal): Employee is struck and killed by vehicle
At 1:30 a.m. on February 26, 2015, Employee #1 and two other employees had finished their work shift and were dropped off by the crew leader in the employer's parking lot. One of the employees walked toward the front of the truck while Employee #1 walked toward the back of the truck. As the crew leader was backing up the truck, he inadvertently struck Employee #1. Unaware that he had struck the employee, the crew leader drove away. The following morning a snow plow driver discovered the body and contacted the police. The employee was killed as a result of a head injury.
