Garbage Truck Tragedy and Aftermath | Louisville News

Two Louisville Public Works employees were fired after a woman was fatally injured when a garbage truck’s claw dropped her — and then they laughed while watching her struggle for help. The supervisors, Troy Debose and another worker, ignored protocol by not calling 911 or offering aid, despite an audio recording capturing their admission of the crash. Mayor Craig Greenberg called it a tragic accident made worse by their failure to act. An internal probe confirmed the terminations, and the city is now hiring outside experts to overhaul safety policies and emergency training to prevent future tragedies.
