Investigation Summary
Employees #1, #2, and #3 were digging out around a 24 ft storm drain pipe near the center of a 12 ft deep, 15 ft wide, and 40 ft long trench that was not properly shored. This trench was located between the north- and southbound lanes on Route 210 (three lanes in each direction) and traffic was using all six lanes. The east wall caved in from under the blacktop roadway, striking all three employees and covering Employee #1. He was pinned to the 24 in. pipe until he was dug out.
