Investigation Summary
At 3:00 p.m. on September 15, 1994, Employee #1, an equipment operator for a paving and earthwork contractor, had just completed a section of roadway paving. He was traveling downhill on a newly paved road on a 12 percent grade in a 1977 9-wheel Bros #905 pneumatic tire roller compactor, model SP3500, serial # SP1220, with a Torrance canopy (ROPS), BRTR-35 (ROPS), model BRTR-35-101, mfg. 1/19/77. He was seriously injured when the compactor skidded out of control. It left 84 ft skid marks before it tipped over at 90 degrees from the center line, and rolled. Employee #1 was hospitalized with six fractured ribs, five fractures to his pelvis, a collapsed lung, a torn kidney, left side trauma, and a severe concussion. Speed was a factor in the skid and roll-over. Employee #1 does not remember anything about the accident. He did say that the vehicle gears cannot be shifted while moving; a gear has to be selected before moving.
