BALTIMORE — Timothy Cartwell’s family said he suffered a crushed pelvis, went into cardiac arrest twice and lost multiple units of blood after being crushed by a trash truck along his route working for the Baltimore City Department of Public Works earlier this month.
Now, for the first time, his brothers, sister and nephew sat down to speak about the tragedy, talking exclusively with WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren.
Devoted Employee
“I loved him. I’m going onto miss him. I think about him all the time, Cartwell’s brother Terrence Carroll said through tears.
The family knew him as Timmy and said he was a devoted employee of Baltimore City’s DPW for almost two decades.
“Never really missed work unless he was sick. Never made any excuses about going to work. He showed up every day and did his job and did it to the fullest. He was seasoned, a seasoned worker at DPW,” his brother Cornelius Carroll said.
