- INCIDENT DATE/TIME: 10-18-19 11:19 am
LOCATION: 7310 Pogo Row
CITY: San Diego
DETAILS:
A friend found the male owner (approx mid-50’s) of this lot, trapped between the flatbed and the cab of his tow truck. 911 was called, and when the Police and Fire Dept. arrived, they found the male had been crushed by the flatbed. His friend told us that the victim was having hydraulic issues with the flatbed and had been working on the problem. The victim had been using a 2×4 piece of wood to keep the flatbed propped up, but it slipped. There was nothing that could be done for the male. The victim also had an automotive transmission on the flatbed to add to the weight. It’s not known how long the victim was trapped. There will be some difficulty in getting the victim out of the truck, due to the weight of the flatbed. The property is leased to all of these scrap yards by the City of San Diego. CalOSHA will be investigating.
This is so heartbreaking what a horrible way to pass. I pray that he went quick and didn't suffer. Praying for his family 🙏🏽😢💔
The lesson here is if the company can not provide adequate equipment do not risk your life or others lives trying to compensate. Horrible way to die. May he Rest In Peace.
He was the owner.
Julia H Oh🤭 Wow damn I don't know what to say about that. May he Rest In Peace. My condolences to his friends and family.
Unpleasant to think about for us but probably he had a second of awareness. The body releases chemicals instantly. Years ago there was a metro accident near
Washington, DC. There was a flaw in the lines that are supposed to keep trains at safe distances. There was a train stopped in front. The next train wasn't stopped by the current. The driver did exactly what she was supposed to but it was too late. The top of the front car sheared off up and over the last car of the front train. The rest of the first car on the second train crushed to 3 or 4 feet in width, passengers, seats and all. Your mind can't conceive of such an horrific event. The sickening, maddening part was upper management knew there were problems and they ignored verifying slack repair work kind of like the FIU bridge. And now in New Orleans they are in a rush to demolish the Hard Rock building and you know it's to cover up errors. Workers are going to have to have a buddy system they choose and solidarity to stand up for it. We are well on our way to robber barons and peasants.
@@jh2819 oh, my.
millieo oh that sounds awful. I mean even for the emergency responders. I couldn't even imagine having to go home and try to sleep after seeing something so horrific. My God.
A wooden 2X4 should never be expected to hold metal item of that weight. Probably was trying to hurry and get it done. So he grabbed the 2X4. How sad. Hopefully he did not suffer. RIP.
My husband had an employee get his arm stuck between the cab and front wall of the dump truck bed. He was thin enough and the space between the two truck parts was wide enough to avoid a catastrophic injury to his arm. He was experienced and had been driving dump trucks for years. It was an accident. He had to stand for a few hours before they reaiized he never came back. You are right about the buddy system.
This brings back memories of an incident some 30 yrs ago. Me and my brother were out on a job site and heard screams for help from outside and down the street. We rush out to find a young man trapped in a horrific situation. His head was trapped under the bucket arm of a bobcat loader. The situation was getting worse by the second. The hydraulics of the arm were slowly leaking and closing around his neck. We could hear the creaking as the bucket was slowly closing tighter and tighter around his neck and head. In a panic will started stacking material under the bucket to keep it from falling further decapitating his head. My brother stayed with him a I drove to call fire/rescue. Getting back to the scene before rescue showed the owner of the equipment showed up. He bravely started the equipment to raise the bucket and free the young man. It is something I will never forget.
He was fortunate you two heard him. Clever thinking on your brother's part.
Thank goodness for you two coming along...
I was reading your story in suspense. Glad he was ok 👍🏽 Great job on you guys.
God bless your souls.... True heroes...
Great work on both of your parts in saving this young man 🤗👏😷😀😺🎆
This was easily avoidable. You should never use wood to prop up a flatbed WITH a transmission on the back.
RKGSD exactly
@@MichelleGutierrez32950 yep
RKGSD yes that’s the answer
I agree but humans over estimate what they can do. He has paid the consequence and provided a "do not do" example for everyone who comes across this story.
ok but still....
It's a sad day, you go to work and you never go home.
That's so terrible he should have had some one helping him with this issue with the truck
Remember having partners in elementary school. Maybe they should do it for adults.
Yup, always have a buddy working with you on mechanical things.
Yeah, he should have asked for help.
@@Earnhardt12345 ... sad
this is why when the "boom" is up in a tow truck or dump truck, never never get underneath it
chole4me1 or any boom for that matter
@@Brotha00 yup
So sad my husband friend was crushed this way also try to get it to work with no one a round to spot him it just cut him in in two so quick that you don't know what happened please always have someone with you when things are gping wrong with your work vehicle's stay safe the world is going thru a very bad crisis now may his family members find some peace
How sad! Rest In Peace
Came home from high school and found my neighbors legs sticking out from under the dump truck was working on hydraulics crushed him shame to see
Sorry the victim had fatal injuries--that is too bad (per video and captain of SDFR Engine #7. That tow truck looks fairly weathered to me. Interesting that Cal Fire in on-scene,w/the quint...must have been requested for manpower and rescue tools.
Darren, the title and details state it was a fatal accident.
911 VIDEO NEWS some people are so 🤤
Wow how awful! If only people could learn lessons before something tragic like this happens.
Devastating R.I.P young man my thoughts are with your family bless you all
life is loaned to us all not owned or bought
Oh Dear...
I know the police officers were taking pics with their cell phone cameras for evidentiary purposes but it just almost appears to be for personal reasons. A digital or regular camera would look better for appearances sake. I guess cuz people are usually using their cell phones to take pics to upload to or show them to others is probably why it seems unseemly. That's what looky-loos do. I realize that they taking pics for official purposes, though, just to make that clear. Poor guy, the victim. Hope he didn't suffer or just went quick. Sad. 😢
Only an idiot would think they are taking pictures for personal reasons, especially in front of a shit ton of witnesses and the news media. A person with a single digit IQ could figure out they are using department issued cell phones...
So you expect them to carry a camera plus carry all Of their critical gear just so people like you won’t get their feelings hurt .... B|T€H please
iamdebster that’s why they shouldn’t let women comment on you tube
Phones own cameras are great quality and allow for easy uploading to case files.
Todd Clouse name one ??
Why was he propping up the bed, if the trans was already loaded and ready to go????
Kathy Bowen he was having hydraulic issues watch the video
He thought it was going to he a quik and easy fix
Condolences.
A 2×4 piece of wood...noooooo
Dana Davis 11:11 very strong and common, wasn’t stabilized though. The world is held up by 2x4s.
So many wrongs on so many different levels.
As a diesel🚛 mechanic I would have got the medium size forklift raise it up then put get a couple of chains and hold the bed 🚚 poor guy didn't have proper equipment can't believe nobody 👨🔧 helped him neither 🤕
Prayers to his family.RIP God Bless Amen
RIP, sir.
At least we didn't see it happen. There was a video clip from a Chinese driver ed. class, similar to "Highway of Death". Showed a pedestrian being run over by a 20 ton dump truck. The amazing(?) thing was to see the dump bounce up and down as it drove over the guy.
Thats horrible.
Horrible
Mere Sexy and I’m thirsty 😘
in the boneyard buisness you hope there teaching taking chances is a NO NO,,, very sorry for the loss..
They took pictures with their cellphone. Wow
They have to for the police investigation..
Jamie Elizabeth that’s not true. They have a real camera.
Why cellphone? Yeah to share it all over the world.
Jamie Elizabeth already disappeared?
I’m suspecting that you are a police officer who think it’s ok
TurboFreak I’ve seen police take pics with their phones.. relax
LCbabyxO nope it’s wrong! They share it with everyone and laughing.
It’s very wrong!!!!! Real camera they cannot share it.
Cellphone. It’s their personal phones.. illegal
Wow that is a tragedy.
That is horrible
I hope those guys are snapping pics with their cell phones for official business and not personal noseyness
of course it for official use.
Are you kidding? They are police officers, there to do a job..my God..
Seriously? People are so dumb...
@Todd Clouse Shut your basement dwelling ass up... Keep that hate shit on cop block... Because you clearly are clueless!
@@synndraphoenix1853 Yeah? Like the cop just recently caught WITH IS OWN BODY CAM fondling a dead woman's tits? Yeah, they are SOOOOOO professional!
Soo worried about the extra weight a transmission adds, pull it off!! My brother owns a mechanic shop and he could move this by himself! This is so horrible but at least now he doesn't have to plan his death or work hard anymore. RIP Sir
Hello Sweetheart what do you mean at least now he doesn’t have to plan his death or work hard?? What in God’s name does that mean?
Shut up idiot
I own a car and I can move it by myself.
Poor Fella 😭 . . thats so sad 💔💔 What a terrible way to go . . !!
R i p 🌷🌱⚘☘🥀🌴
So Sad... RIP.🙏✝️❤️💐💐💐💐💐
Sad
Ohhhhh damn..... I'm guessing he was split in half.. 😥
Is there really a need to point out the obvious in the comments.
The poor guy lost his life, paid the ultimate price.
R.I.P 🌹🙇♀️
Dear god....
Damn, that's a horrible way to go. Probably wasn't fast since most flatbeds work on hydraulic pressure. That means you know what's coming, but you're fucked and can't do anything about it.
A stupid and avoidable accident.
This also goes to these video catchers. I hope you ain't speeding to be 1st on scenes to capture your videos for money and endangerig lives.
crushed...like a bug...
I saw nothing
Hay que planificar
We must practice OSHA regulations at work ,it sounds nerdy but accidents like this are 💯% avoidable.the goal is to make it home to our families,to the reason we are doing it for.my heart goes out to the family and I pray for the people in the comments that think this is funny, your time has yet to come...
I find the comment about dying on his bed, LOL very offensive and cold hearted. How would you feel if it was one of your loved ones? Or are you even capable of love?
2:00 NALGA me dios !
Butt injections. Nalgona.
Nice ass buuuuut you can tell it's not real, gimmie the real thing.
Jessica Murrieta Carne es carne .. don’t matter if it’s ground beef or steak
Jessica Murrieta but yeah nothing compares to the real Gluteus maximus
Nice fart box
All the cops getting pics on they’re cell phones is uncalled for
They use cellphone cameras to photograph evidence.
Unapologetically Amy those are patrol officers, not investigators
Dumbass they have a job to do..
Accident reconstruction..
I can't believe some people are so FN stupid..
Anything to make police officers look bad.
Thanks for identifying yourself, your a criminal . All criminals hate police officers..
The level of ignorance (a.k.a. stupidity) on the internet still amazes me...
Nancy Patrick you are a moron. Plain and simple. You have no idea what exactly they are both taking photos with cell phones for! An opinion is worth nothing here.
At least he died on his bed ! 😂 LoL get it 🤤🤣
You are so disrespectful! You think is a joke huh! You need to grow up, and if you are a grown up then your brain havent developed!
livy Hurtado well thank you for the compliment 😁
@@mr.agigittygigitty9916 welcome hopefully u learn something!😉
livy Hurtado What a idiot . I was being sarcastic
@@mr.agigittygigitty9916 well u sounded more idiot than me!😉
How crushing!
