Employee killed by loader overturn

Employee #1, the owner, was operating an Oliver OC-46 loader (small, older unit). While backing up, he apparently failed to realize that he was arriving very close to the edge of an embankment. The loader rolled down the 45 degree embankment and overturned. Employee #1 suffered a fractured back near the eleventh and twelfth vertebrae, an amputated leg, and a ruptured aorta, which caused massive internal hemorrhaging of which Employee #1 died.
