Abstract: At 9:00 a.m. on May 2, 2017, an employee was moving some earth from a hill in preparation for residential construction and was operating a Caterpillar 651B scraper, serial #067K00455. The employee lost control of the scraper while traveling up a hill. The scraper stopped and began rolling back down the hill approximately 150-200 feet. A coworker was following the first scraper and began backing away when both vehicles collided. Paramedics responded and provided treatment for multiple head injuries to the employee onsite but later declared the employee dead at the scene.
