Investigation Summary
On September 10, 2012, Employee #1 was operating a backhoe on a newly installed, closed, flat, two-lane highway. For some reason, the backhoe veered off the roadway, rolled over, and landed in a ditch. Employee #1 was partially ejected from the backhoe's cab and was pinned under the cab. Employee #1 was killed. Upon further investigation, it was determined the backhoe's rear digging arm was off center; the safety pin to lock the arm was still in the holding bracket; the cab's windows and doors were broken and glass was missing; and the seat belt inside the cab was functional but not utilized.
