Garland, TX — February 5, 2024, Johan Contreras was killed as the result of a work accident that happened around 10:30 a.m. along McCree Road.
Authorities said that the accident took place just off the LBJ Freeway and Garland Avenue intersection.
It appears that 36-year-old Johan Contreras was operating an industrial vehicle. While doing so, the vehicle somehow pinned Contreras’s foot between the vehicle and a wall. Following transport to the hospital, Johan Contreras reportedly died due to the injuries.
OSHA listed two alleged violations in their statements as well as a recommended penalty. Additional details are unavailable.

Following any work accident, it’s important there are steps taken beyond just relying on OSHA. Texas has uniquely complex work fatality laws, and families often need a mountain of evidence and particular legal tools working in their favor to navigate that maze. At the end of the day, families need to be able to tell the victim’s side of the story, and they need to know what paths are available to get a proper, fair resolution beyond just whatever penalties OSHA comes up with.
