Backhoe Operator Is Crushed While Working on Machine

Employee #1 was operating a Case 580 Super E backhoe at a gravel pit to load gravel into the bed of a dump truck. He exited the backhoe while it was running and got beneath the front left wheel of the backhoe, presumably to make some type of repair. The backhoe fell and crushed Employee #1. Employee #1 was found lying in the supine position beneath the front left tire of the backhoe with his right arm and a portion of his right chest and abdomen underneath the tire. A solenoid clutch cutout, part of the backhoe's gear mechanism, and fluid were on the ground adjacent to where Employee #1 was found. The Clark County Coroner pronounced Employee #1 dead at the scene as a result of abdominal trauma.
