One employee was sent to medical aid after two haul trucks made contact on a main run early this morning.
Early reports indicated that the empty haul truck veered into the oncoming lane, and the loaded haul truck driver called over the radio to make the first driver aware of what was going on. The empty truck turned sharply to avoid the collision, but clipped the back of the loaded haul trucks box. The empty truck lit on fire after contact and was damaged by fire significantly Both drivers were sent to first aid, with one being sent to medical aid as a precaution. Two of the ERT were also sent to medical aid as a precaution after smoke inhalation. The area has been bermed off, and will be contained until OSHEC and Company officials can further assess the scene. The scene was frozen, and an ICAM will be initiated Tuesday. This is a good opportunity to remind employees to come to work well rested, always be aware of your surroundings, and to pull over if you start to fade. It's also a reminder to work within the safe operating guidelines of the vehicle you're running. |
