Employee hit in head by flying wrenches

Employees were boring underneath the ground to place in a water main. Two employees were attempting to break stem off the boring machine with two 32-in.-long wrenches. The boring machine was turned off at the time. Employee #1, the operator of the boring machine, noticed that the employee was having difficulty breaking the stem and he went around the boring machine to assist. Employee #1 felt like his coat caught the lever and activated the boring machine. The wrenches flew off the stem hitting Employee #1 causing fatal injuries.
