Abstract: At approximately 10:20 a.m. on September 13, 2012, Employee #1 was standing in front of a Caterpillar (Model Number PS 360C; Serial Number JPJF00265X) four-tire pneumatic asphalt roller compactor while performing minor maintenance activities. A Caterpillar (Model Number CB64; Serial Number CAT0CB64JDJM00395) two-drum asphalt roller compactor struck the employee from behind. The coworker operating the Caterpillar CB64 was preparing to park the roller compactor and lost control while transitioning from the asphalt road surface to the shoulder. The coworker was unable to regain control of the roller compactor and ran into Employee #1 while he was standing in front of the other roller compactor. The employee was pinned between the two rollers and was crushed. Employee #1 was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
