Abstract: At 11:35 a.m. on June 12, 2021, an employee operated a tractor-trailer with a flatbed trailer that was in the process of being loaded with jersey barriers. An excavator (Gradall Model XL3100 Hydraulic Excavator) was used to load the barriers onto the flatbed. Once all of the barriers were loaded, the employee exited the tractor-trailer and walked between the trailer and the excavator, which were approximately three feet, eight inches apart, when the excavator operator began to rotate the excavator, which pinned the employee between the excavator and the trailer. The employee was killed by crushing injuries.
