Investigation Summary
At 10:30 p.m. on January 19, 2015, Employee #1, a supervisor employed a construction company, was supervising a crew of workers engaged in the demolition of a bridge overpass. The bridge, which was a double-hinged suspension type, passed over an interstate highway. The workers were demolishing the bridge from east to west. The tie-down system that had been installed earlier that day failed, and the center span of the bridge collapsed to the highway below. Employee #1, who was on the bridge when the center span collapsed, was struck and pinned underneath the tracks of a Komatsu PC400 excavator. He sustained crushing injuries to the head and was killed.
