Employee killed by overturned roller

A road crew was chip sealing a two-lane, level stretch of gravel road that has a slight incline, a forest on the south side, and a 15 ft bank that drops to a meadow on the north side. Employee #1 was operating a two-seated Rex vibratory roller, model #SP910-B, serial #9BHX1080 on the north edge of the road from the south side operator's seat. The roller progressed too close to the edge of the road and tipped over the embankment. Employee #1 was crushed by the roller and died of traumatic skull and brain injury.
