Investigation Summary
On November 14, 2011, Employee #1 was operating a Kubota Tractor (Model Number 108S) with an attached 5 ft diameter Terrain King mower. He was trimming the grass and bushes on the side of a canal levee. While operating the tractor, he drove too close to the edge of the levee, which caused the tractor to slid approximately 6 feet and overturn into the canal. The incident occurred earlier in the day, but Employee #1 and the tractor were not discovered until approximately 9:30 p.m. that evening. Employee #1 was found inside the cab that was upside down, halfway submerged, damaged and full of water. The cause of his death was asphyxiation due to the immersion in water.
