Employee Is Killed When Struck and Pinned by Equipment

On September 14, 2010, Employee #1, of Bond Blacktop, Incorporated, was operating a seal coat machine. When he was spreading sealant material on a 10 degree incline, the engine stalled. This resulted in a loss of power to the hydraulic steering and braking system. It was believed, that Employee #1, jumped from the machine, having been unable to steer or brake the machine, and as it gained speed going downhill. Employee #1 then stood next to a 3,000 tank truck at the foot of the hill. However, the machine veered left and off the driveway and in the direction of Employee #1. It proceeded downhill approximately 296 ft, where it struck and pinned him between the equipment, which resulted in his death.
