Narrative

EE was operating a 1970 Mack water truck when the vehicle came out of gear. Operator could not get the truck back into gear. He removed his seat belt in an attempt to jump but decided to ride it out, to prevent any injury to fellow workers in the area. As he made a sharp right turn, the vehicle overturned 2 times, ejecting him from the vehicle. An investigation is ongoing.
