A 20-year old road construction worker died on June 20, 2003 from multiple injuries received when a dump truck fully loaded with asphalt backed over him. Five dump trucks loaded with asphalt were preparing to transfer their loads into the asphalt paver. As the first truck unloaded its asphalt, the victim was sent to repair a break in the string line used to guide the paver. The victim was kneeling down to nail the string to the road surface. He was about 10 feet behind the second dump truck, in the driver's blind spot, and had his back to the truck. As the truck began backing up to the unloading position, at least one other worker in the area heard the back up warning signal. He and another worker saw the hazard, and although they tried to warn the victim, he was run over by the truck's dual rear tires.
