Employee #1 was operating a backhoe when the Immigration and Naturalization Service raided the job site. He jumped off the backhoe to hide in a pile of concrete manhole caps but failed to first disengage the vehicle's gears. The backhoe continued to move and it ran into the pile of concrete caps, dislodging them. Employee #1 was crushed under the shifting concrete caps and died of a fractured neck. | |||||||
