Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on July 19, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker, of Straightline Engineering, were working inside an 11 ft open trench. Nearby, another coworker was using a quick-coupler to attach a bucket to the arm of a Link-Belt excavator that was parked alongside the excavation. The coworker was lifting and turning the excavator arm when the bucket came loose and fell into the excavation. The bucket struck Employee #1 in the chest, killing him.
