Description:

On July 3, 2013, a 24-year-old oil and gas delivery truck driver was fatally injured when he was crushed between a dozer and the front of his semi-truck. The driver was delivering concrete to the job site and, due to the hilly terrain, needed a tow to the well site. The towing dozer operator backed to the front of the driver's semi-truck. The driver exited his cab to connect to the dozer's towline. The driver was attempting to connect the towline to the front of his truck, but he needed a D-ring to complete the connection. The dozer operator got up from his seat and was exiting the dozer to hand the driver a D-ring. When exiting the dozer, it is believed his foot hit the parking brake lever and the dozer rolled backward, crushing the driver between the two vehicles. Emergency medical services (EMS) was called, and CPR was administered by another dozer operator until EMS arrived on-scene. The EMS responders pronounced the delivery truck driver dead shortly after their arrival. The medical examiner determined the cause of death was thoracic injuries.
