Abstract: A Case 880B excavator (trackhoe) had been loaded onto a Low Boy trailer. Employee #1 was backing the truck and loaded trailer down a dirt road to bring the trackhoe to another job site. Because the wheels of the Low Boy trailer got stuck in the mud and started spinning, Employee #1 got back on the trackhoe, lowered the bucket, and attempted to push the Low Boy trailer out of the mud. But the trackhoe fell sideways off the trailer, pinning Employee #1 between the cab and the ground. He was killed.
