MOAB, Utah (AP) — An investigation is underway into the death of a sanitation worker in Moab.
Grand County sheriff's deputies say 51-year-old Jay Stephens of Moab was helping a garbage truck driver unload his truck at a transfer station Monday when the accident occurred.
The truck's lift gate was raised and its cargo was unloaded.
Stephens, a Bob's Sanitation employee, was crushed when he became caught between the rear of the truck and the lift gate when it lowered.
