Incident on Jan 12, 2016 (fatal): Employee is crushed between two truck trailers and is killed
At 9:47pm on January 12, 2016, an employee parked his truck with a container mounted on a trailer between two disconnected container mounted trailers. A coworker driving another truck with a container mounted on the trailer drove into the yard, stopped, and asked the employee where he should park. The employee directed the coworker to park in front of the disconnected trailer to the North of the employee's truck. As the coworker was backing his truck into place, the employee positioned himself between his truck and the disconnected trailer North of him in order to roll down his truck trailer's landing gear. The coworker hit the disconnected trailer when backing up, pinning the employee between the trailers and crushing him. The coworker then left to go to the lunch room, but returned when he noticed the employee's truck lights were on. He found the crushed employee and went back to the lunch room to report it to his supervisor. The supervisor called emergencies services who arrived and found the employee to be dead.
