Abstract: At 8:10 a.m. on August 10, 2020, Employee #1 was working for a road/street contractor. Employee #1 was installing a slide rail trench box system.

The excavator lost control, and the trench box rail fell on top of the employee. Employee #1 suffered three fractures to his hips and pelvis. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
