Investigation Summary
On December 9, 2010, Employee #1 worked at a construction work site on I-12 east in Baton Rouge, LA. Employee #1 spotted dump trucks that delivered fill dirt to the site. Another employee, the bulldozer operator, operated a bulldozer to spread the dirt after it was dumped. During a delivery, the bulldozer operator reversed the bulldozer and backed up in order to get closer to the interstate crash barrier and allow more room for the dump truck to drop its dirt load. When the bulldozer operator backed up, the bulldozer struck Employee #1 and ran over him. Employee #1 suffered serious injuries. The bulldozer operator dismounted from the cab of the bulldozer and realized that he had backed over Employee #1. The bulldozer operator called emergency services. Medical personnel transported Employee #1 to a local hospital. On December 21, 2010, Employee #1 died in the local hospital from the he injuries suffered when the bulldozer backed over him.
