Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on December 1, 1995, four employees were leveling the bottom of a sewer ditch that was approximately 120 ft long, 10 to 12 ft deep, and 5 to 6 ft wide. The side walls consisted of unstable soil. A track hoe was being used to clean the trench. The north wall of the trench collapsed, but only two employees were able to pull themselves out. Employees #1 and #2 were buried in the trench. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene. Employee #2 was transported to a local hospital and admitted.
