Two employees are killed when hit by motor vehicle
Investigation abstract
At 1:00 a.m. on December 18, 2021, Employee #1 was on duty as a security guard and Employee #2 was walking outside the facility on a break. Four coworkers, who had just finished work for the night, were in a privately owned vehicle, slowly traveling eastward on the road. At the same time, a vehicle speeding away from police, was fast approaching the plant from the west. Based on interviews and video footage provided by the company, the speeding vehicle hit the vehicle and Employee #2 (on break walking next to the road) in front of the company's bus stop/break area. The slow-moving vehicle spun in place, and the speeding vehicle rolled and crashed through the main entrance, killing both Employee #1 and #2.
