Investigation Summary
On August 20, 2007, Employee #1 was working alone as he tried to attach the blade to a bulldozer tractor. He apparently used the bucket of a trackhoe to pick up the blade and he was attempting to pull the blade arms out straight when the blade slid off the trackhoe bucket and fell on him. The blade crushed Employee #1's midsection, severely injuring his liver. He was transported to the hospital, where he died a week later of injuries sustained in the accident.
