Employee fatally struck by falling palm tree

At approximately 10:45 a.m. on October 27, 1993, three employees were digging and lining up excavations so that sewer pipes could be laid along property lines. Employee #1 and coworker were using property stakes to install the pipes in their correct place. The coworker was standing on the ground, approximately 20 feet north of the excavation.

The tree fell across the excavation, striking Employee #1 on the head and killing him.
