#BREAKING: City garbage truck workers will NOT face any criminal charges after they used the truck’s hydraulic claw to pick up a homeless woman sleeping in a pile of trash… and crushed her.
After they realized what they had done, they never called 911.
The police report says they, “didn’t think she was really hurt” and began laughing when they realized they had picked up the woman with the claw.
Her name was Tyrah Adams, she was 35 years old.
On February 12th, Louisville Metro Public Works crews were doing a routine cleanup of an alley where Tyrah was sleeping among some debris, off 26th and Cedar.
Surveillance video shows the truck’s claw grab a large pile, with Tyrah inside it, lift it, and drop it back down.
The coroner ruled it a “delayed fat*lity.”
Tyrah was still alive and limped herself to a store where the workers in there eventually called 911 while the garbage men watched from the truck.
In fact, the police report says the garbage men “didn’t think she was really hurt” and the workers were seen laughing afterward.
Tyrah passed away later at a hospital.
And this week, the county attorney announced: no charges.
One worker is no longer with the city. Two are on unpaid leave.
