Investigation Summary
At 4:10 p.m. on October 27, 1998, Employee #1, age 18, of the Bankhead Asphalt Paving Company, was assisting a front end loader in dumping of a load of #810 stone into the #3 hopper of the cold feed bin. A coworker who was manning ground level operations went over to offer Employee #1 a menthol cigarette and saw a hand sticking out of the rocks in the #3 bin. He instantly leaped into the hopper in a rescue attempt, but when he was unsuccessful he called the plant manager. A joint rescue effort was mounted to create an airway, but it proved too late. Employee #1 had become engulfed by the stone; he died of asphyxia.
