Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on December 17, 2007, Employee #1 was in a 7 ft deep trench when approximately one yard of dirt caved in from the side of the bank, striking him on the back from the waist down. The collapsing dirt knocked him very hard to the ground, and his chest landed on the top handle of a gasoline-operated saw. Employee #1 died at approximately 6:00 p.m. that same day of injuries sustained in striking the saw handle. The handle of the saw was damaged by the force of the impact.
