Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14293427

Event: 07/26/1988

Employee killed when pinned under out-of-control skidder

On July 27, 1988, Employee #1 stayed behind to load one last log truck before going home. At approximately 4:05 p.m., he finished loading the truck. The truck driver secured the load and proceeded to leave. At approximately 4:15 p.m., the log truck spun out in the dirt on a steep section of the road. Employee #1 got on a skidder and pushed the truck up the hill. As Employee #1 returned down the hill, he lost control of the skidder. He went up an embankment and rolled over. Employee #1 was ejected from the skidder, which then rolled on top of him and crushed him to death. Since Employee #1 was alone, he was not found until 2:30 a.m. on July 28, 1988, by the owner, who was looking for him. The owner called a supervisor, and the supervisor called the sheriff. The sheriff arrived at the scene at approximately 4:00 a.m. Employee #1 was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
