Abstract: At 10:30 a.m. on January 19, 2022, an employee disconnected a chain hook from a concrete storm drainage pipe that was lowered into a dump truck bed by a coworker operating an excavator to move the pipe. The employee was in the rear inside portion of the bed as the coworker leaned out of the cab to attempt to get a better view of the employee. The operator had the engine at idle and contacted a control lever that caused the excavator bucket to move and pin the employee between the dump truck bed and the bucket. The employee was crushed and was killed by the internal injuries received.
