Abstract: On September 10, 2009, Employee #1 was operating a Caterpillar wheel loader. He was lifting a bundle of rubber rings that were used to anchor highway cones. He was loading the rings into a rack truck. He picked up the rings with the left fork and backed up the wheel loader. The right rear wheel rode up on a pile of dirt which caused the loader to tip over. As the loader tipped over, Employee #1 tried to escape through the door of the enclosed cab, but he was killed when crushed by the loader.
