Investigation Summary
At 4:14 p.m. on May 28, 2015, an employee was operating an Ingersoll Rand DD-24, Model# TTEC 20618, 48 inch wide articulating compactor, and was engaged in removing the compactor from the job site by loading onto a truck trailer. The employee backed the compactor approximately 35 feet, crossing from the south side of the roadway to the north side. The compactor was driven onto the three foot wide grave shoulder installed alongside the asphalt roadway when the gravel gave way, causing the compactor to turn on its side and slide down the 16 feet deep, 42 degree ravine. The employee was crushed and killed by the compactor at the bottom of the ravine and suffered fatal trauma to chest and abdomen.
