Description:

On July 20, 2020, at 11:38 am, a 55-year-old city sanitation refuse truck driver was struck-by a motorist. The refuse truck driver was loading trash along with a sanitation technician on a small business sanitation route with roughly 80 customers. The incident occurred on a 4-lane median divided road in an urban business area. The speed limit posted on the roadway was 45 mph. The city sanitation refuse truck driver was at the back driver side of the refuse truck loading trash along with a sanitation technician who was positioned at the back passenger side of the truck at the time of the incident. A male motorist in his mid-60s did not brake or change lanes away from the refuse truck and collided with the refuse truck, pinning the sanitation refuse truck driver. The sanitation refuse truck driver was transported to the hospital where he later died as a result of his crushing injuries.
