Abstract: At 12:45 p.m. on September 12, 2013, an employee was conducting grinding operations on the street next to a curb. The employee was operating a cold-milling machine along the edge of the east side curb moving south bound and stopped the machine. The employee brought the machine into a low idle and raised the milling machine up, got off the machine, walked to the back where the milling drum was located, proceeded to lay down and kick the machine. The grinding system had become jammed and the employee was attempting to fix the machine by kicking the guide plate back into alignment. The employee's right leg missed the guide plate and instead made contact with the teeth of the milling drum. The employee was pulled into the machine up to his abdomen/chest and died as a result of massive injuries to his legs and lower torso.
