Man Killed in Accident Involving Flatbed Truck in Kentucky
Posted on May 12, 2009
A Kentucky man was killed following an accident involving a flatbed truck at a lumber yard on Buffalo Road in Cerulean. The man died the morning of Thursday, May 7, 2009 from his injuries, according to a report by Trooper Dean Patterson, a public affairs officer for the Kentucky State Police Post One.
The accident took place at about 7:52 AM on Thursday. The victim, Weaver W. Shirk, a 45-year-old Cerulean resident, was loading lumber onto a flatbed semi-trailer truck at the lumberyard located on Buffalo Road, when the semi hit an I-beam. As a result, the lumber fell toward the truck, said Patterson.
Shirk became pinned between the load and the flatbed semi-trailer truck when he attempted to stop the load from hitting the truck. He sustained fatal injuries from the accident, according to Patterson.
