A fatal accident took place at Taylor Farms in Salinas on Tuesday afternoon, August 21 at around 2:30pm. The Salinas Police Department reports that a 58-year-old man parked a big rig at a loading dock area to be loaded, then exited the truck. The trailer was parked too far away from the dock to be loaded and employees began looking for the driver, but could not find him. Another truck driver moved the truck so that the trailer could be loaded. When the truck was backed up to the dock, the 58 year-old truck driver was crushed between the trailer and the loading dock. It's unknown why the driver was behind the trailer. The driver was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The details of this case are still being investigated by the Salinas Police Department and Cal OSHA.
