Investigation Summary
At about 2:05 p.m. on June 7, 2005, Employee #1 and a coworker were in a 7-foot-deep trench, making preparations for repairing sewer pipes. The trench was oriented lengthwise in a northeast-southwest direction. The northwest wall failed, and the trench caved in, pinning the two workers against the southeast wall. Employee #1, at the northeast end, was crushed. He was declared dead at the scene. Due to difficulties with the trench and the weather, he was not extricated until about 8:15 p.m. His coworker, at the southwest end, was extricated and taken to the hospital within approximately 25 minutes. There is no mention of him on an injury line.
