Two Workers Fired After Tragic Garbage Truck Incident | Louisville News

Two Louisville Metro Public Works workers lost their jobs after a horrifying accident in February when a garbage truck’s claw lifted a woman, Tyrah Adams, 35, who was wrapped in a blanket and mistaken for debris. Though the internal investigation found serious safety violations, no criminal charges were filed. A third employee, who retired before the conclusion, would have also been fired. The city is now taking major steps to prevent future tragedies — launching a policy review committee, updating waste collection rules, boosting emergency training, and hiring a third-party consultant to overhaul operations and close critical safety gaps.
