Employee #1 was hit by a moving overhead concrete bucket, known as MOBY. Employee #1 was caught between the chute, a stationary object, and the MOBY, resulting in blunt force trauma to the chest and arm areas. Employee #1 was killed. It was unknown why the employee was in the area and performing this task. An overhead catwalk or platform area was located next to the chute area and was equipped with a power washer for cleaning the interior of the chute. There were no eye witnesses to the accident.
