Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:50 a.m. on July 6, 2009, Employee #1 and three coworkers, in a rice field, were going to remove a new tractor whose rear wheel had come off in the mud. After picking up the tractor with a Caterpillar 320-L Excavator and a chain, they remounted the right rear wheel to the Kubota M- 9000 tractor. They exited the muddy rice field and returned their tools and the chain to the dual-axle diesel Ford F-350 service pick-up truck. After placing the chain used to lift the tractor in the rear bed of the service truck, and closing the door to a passenger-side tool-compartment, Employee #1 headed west on foot. He was last seen walking west along the south side of the field turn-row. Apparently, Employee #1 crossed behind the truck at a point 100 ft west of where the truck had been parked. A coworker, mechanic and truck driver started the truck, turned on the air-conditioner, looked back through the rear glass, and in both outside rear-view mirrors, before backing up his diesel Ford F-350 service truck. The coworker eased the truck backwards at engine idle speed with the truck's back-up alarm device sounding. The driver said he felt a bump and looked out the front windshield and saw Employee #1 lying on the ground across the turn-row. Employee #1 was killed.
