Description:

In the Fall of 2010, a male farmer in his 50s died when his head and neck were crushed while directing a backing semitractor/trailer to a wooden chute providing loading/unloading access to a pig storage building. The unit was delivering pigs. The trailer transporting the pigs was constructed so the pigs could be unloaded single file into the wooden chute. Due to layout of the farm's driveways, the semi could not back straight into the chute area but had to back in on an angle, which made it more difficult for the trailer to be in alignment with the chute. The animal delivery occurred in the early morning. The decedent, after conversing with the semi driver, walked back to the chute and at some point, climbed onto the chute floor. As the semi was backing to the southeast, it appears the decedent placed his head between the backing trailer and the chute wall, most likely to determine proper alignment of the backing trailer. During the backing of the semi, the driver stated he could see the decedent's hand waving him back. The decedent's head and neck were crushed by the trailer against the loading chute. The decedent was declared dead at the scene.
