Narrative

On May 14, 2024, an employee was raising the dump body on a dump truck to unload mulch. When it would not raise, the employee checked underneath the dump body to look for the issue and the dump body dropped down onto his arm, pinning it against the frame. The truck then rolled down a slight incline, dragging the employee with it. The employee's right forearm was fractured and arteries and blood vessels were injured.
