Employee killed when crushed by backhoe bucket

An equipment operator was using a mini-excavator to break up loose stone. He was in the process of piling up more stone when his bucket inadvertently picked up the air hose to a compressor.

It struck Employee #1 and the coworker, pinning them against the air compressor. Employee #1 sustained abdominal injuries, from which he died.
