A worker was rolling a 454-kilogram tire out of a transport-truck trailer when the tire tipped over and crushed him, a Moncton court heard Tuesday. Coast Tire & Auto Service Ltd. is on trial on a charge under New Brunswick's Occupational Health and Safety Act. Bourque said he backed the transport truck up to a loading bay at Coast Tire's Baig Boulevard location in Moncton. Derrick Fillmore, who was assistant manager at the time, testified Coast Tire wanted oversize tires tires shipped on pallets so forklifts could move them. LeMesurier, the lawyer for Coast Tire, said he's still considering whether to present evidence.
