Event: 04/13/2001

Employee Killed in Trench Cave-In

Employee #1 was installing an 8-inch PVC water line on Highway 50 in Onslow County. The trench was normally deep enough to put 3 feet of dirt in it. However, while going under a culvert where a drain line went under the road, the trench was dug at approximately 10 feet deep. Employee #1 was in the trench greasing the pipe ends when a 50-foot section parallel to the highway and approximately 6 feet across caved in, burying him. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene.
