Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were in a trench to hook up a 36 inch concrete drainage pipe when the backhoe operator noticed that the side wall of the trench was starting to fall into and onto Employee #1. He called out and the coworker escaped but Employee #1 was struck by the spoils and partially buried next to the pipe. He was struck on the head by a large piece of clay, which crushed his skull, killing him.
