Investigation Summary
Two coworkers of Employees #1 and #2 were moving an excavator 7 to 8 miles on an interstate highway to the next job site. One coworker was operating the excavator on the highway's shoulder because its top speed was 12 to 15 mph. The other coworker was following the excavator in a pickup with the lights flashing. Employees #1 and #2 left the same location, approximately 10 minutes after the two coworkers, in a company pickup truck and headed for the same job site traveling at approximately 65 mph. The coworker driving the excavator, for some unknown reason, turned the excavator into the path of Employees #1 and #2, causing a collision as the pickup truck ran into the rear of the slow moving excavator. Employees #1 and #2's truck exploded. Both employees died. The minimum speed on the interstate highway is 40 mph, including travel on the shoulder.
