Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:15 p.m. on September 29, 2008, Employee #1 was retrieving a piece of asphalt from the bottom of a trench, which was about 8.75 feet deep. As Employee #1 walked through a corrugated pipe, measuring 5 feet in diameter, to reach the trench, he stepped outside of the corrugated pipe. This caused the side wall on the trench to collapse, burying Employee #1 up to his chest. Employee #1 died due to asphyxiation.
