Joe Gamez killed in accident with Antonio Segovia Trucking dump truck
57-year old Joe Gamez died yesterday when he was run over by a dump truck in north Houston. Mr. Gamez, who was an independent dump truck operator, and another man were working near the intersection of Duoto and West Tidwell on private land at around 12:30pm on January 18, 2012. A truck tire got stuck in the mud so Mr. Gamez walked behind it and told the other driver to reverse, then as the dump truck was backing up Gamez was hit. According to officials the dump truck belonged to Antonio Segovia Trucking. Channel 2’s report on the accident is available here.
