Trash Truck Accident
Re: Dec. 29 article about trash truck driver injury in Ventura.
On behalf of my family, our drivers and other employees, I wish to thank the people who came to the aid of our driver, Adrian Ochoa. He was seriously injured on Dec. 28 when a hydraulic arm on the trash truck he was operating crushed him against the vehicle.
Without the fast action of Doris Hackett, the first neighbor who called 911, and the quick response of the Ventura Fire Department and Pruner Ambulance Service, this accident could have been fatal to our driver.
The nurses and doctors at Ventura County Medical Center are also to be commended. We as a community can be very proud of how accidents are responded to, and again, our heartfelt thank you to all who helped save Mr. Ochoa’s life.
