Investigation Summary
On August 19, 2004, Employee #1 was driving scraper number 1 uphill on a wide dirt road. Another coworker was operating scraper number 2 that was driven ahead and to the right of scraper number 1. Scraper number 2 unexpectedly started a right turn off the road. As it turned to the right, the rear of scraper number 2 moved to the left. To avoid contact with scraper number 2, Employee #1 steered scraper number 1 to the left. Scraper number 1 went over the left embankment of the road and rolled over twice before landing upright at the bottom of the embankment. Employee #1 was wearing a waist seatbelt at the time of the accident, but sustained injuries including thoracic fractures. He was hospitalized for his chest injuries.
