Employee killed when crushed by backhoe

On June 18, 1992, the crew from the Oakland County Road Commission was dispatched to clean ditches for drainage. The crew worked until approximately five minutes to 12:00 noon when Employee #1 was told to hand dig in the ditch. He did not find anything, so he motioned to the Gradall 600E backhoe operator to continue digging. The operator waited for Employee #1 to clear the site, then dumped the first bucket load. The operator saw Employee #1 between the tandem truck and the backhoe, out of the way. Employee #1 was crushed by the counterweight of the backhoe while putting a shovel in the storage area. Employee #1 died at the job site.
