The equipment overturned to its right and the roll-over protective structure pinned and possibly choked Employee #1. Paramedics were called and Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene. Serious violations of failure to check the operating conditions of the tires, 8CCR 1590(d) and failure to require the use of seat belts, 8CCR 1597(h) were found relative to the accident. Other serious and regulatory violations were also found, and the employer was cited.
