Abstract: Employee #1 was working with a highway construction crew that was laying piping and grading the road shoulders. The operator of a motor grader had completed a clearing run and was backing his vehicle toward a parking area to allow traffic to pass. The grader was on the road and the operator's head was turned in the direction of the traffic as he maneuvered the grader toward the shoulder near the parking area. As the grader left the road, its left rear wheel ran over Employee #1. Unaware of what had happened, the operator continued to back up, running over the downed worker with the grader's left front wheel. The medical examiner pronounced Employee #1 dead at the scene.
