Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were in a 13 ft deep trench when a portion of the trench wall caved in, burying Employee #1 to his waist. Employee #2 started digging out Employee #1 by hand, and Employee #3 jumped into the trench to help. Employee #2 saw that the wall was going to cave in a second time, and covered Employee #1 with his body. A larger section of the trench wall then collapsed, burying all three employees under 2 to 3 ft of clay soil. Employee #1 suffered a broken collarbone and a broken jaw, and Employee #3 sustained bruises and abrasions. The hospital would not release information on the nature and extent of Employee #2's injuries. However, he was in the ICU at the time of inspection. The trench was approximately 3 ft 11 in. wide and had vertical walls where it caved-in.
