Description:On October 20, 2006, a 28-year-old laborer (the victim) was killed when he was backed over by a Tack (A glue used to bond the old and new asphalt together.) truck while working as a flagger on an asphalt resurfacing job in a residential roadway work zone. The victim was standing with his back to the reversing Tack truck when a dump truck driver attempted to warn him by waving his arms. The Tack truck struck the victim; the driver thought he had passed over a manhole cover and continued backing. Seeing the dump truck driver running and waving his arms in his mirror, the Tack truck driver stopped. At the front of the Tack truck both drivers found the victim lying face down on a manhole cover on the ground. A laborer ran and notified a flagger who then called 911. Approximately 4 minutes later, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the police arrived on the scene. EMS determined that the victim was not breathing and pronounced him dead on the scene. A coroner arrived on the scene and at approximately 2:21 p.m., the victim was transported to the morgue.
