The South Carolina Court of Appeals upheld a determination that a longtime maintenance worker was not entitled to permanent disability benefits for injuries sustained while trying to stop his runaway work truck.
Freddie Tarver worked in water maintenance for the Beech Island Rural Community in Aiken County from 1986 until 2015.
On April 15, 2014, he parked his company truck and exited it to read a water meter. The truck then began rolling down a hill and Tarver attempted to stop it. He was dragged about 30 feet and suffered injuries to his back, pelvis and teeth.
