Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:15 p.m. on April 30, 2016, Employee #1 was adjusting the mulch flow on a mulch blower truck. After realizing the controls were not adjusting the mulch flow to where it needed to be, he climbed a ladder located on the back of the mulch truck. Employee #1 then jumped into the back of the truck and started to move the mulch into the auger with a pitchfork. As he moved the mulch for approximately 45 seconds, he was caught by and pulled into the stir stick of a rotating auger. Employee #1 sustained traumatic injuries when he was wrapped around the stir stick and died.
