Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:00 a.m. on January 4, 2008, Employee #1, an equipment operator, operated a back hoe on the top of a mound of excavated soil, and the turret of the back hoe struck a large tree stump, damaging the hydraulics. The operator left his equipment and walked down the mound to where a coworker was operating a bulldozer. The coworker was back raking stone with the blade of the bulldozer. Employee #1 walked behind the bulldozer while it was moving backward and was crushed by the left track. The coworker was not aware of the location of Employee #1 until after he was crushed and killed.
