What Happened?
A worker was driving a light vehicle to conduct scheduled inspections and maintenance when they decided to inspect an additional well that wasn’t planned for this particular day. The worker stopped the vehicle at the property entrance gate and got out of the vehicle to unlock the gate. The vehicle rolled forward, pinning the worker against the gate. The worker was unable to free themselves. A passing Contractor noticed the situation, offered assistance and reversed the vehicle away from the gate. The worker was transported to a paramedic for a check-up and treated for minor bruising.
