Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14437743

Event: 05/09/1989

Employee killed when crushed by tractor

Employee #1 was making a skid trail for logging operations with his crawler tractor, which was equipped with ROPS and a blade. For some reason, the employee veered (not abruptly) into a very steep section of the hillside. He lost control of the tractor as it traveled downhill. The tractor apparently flipped once and landed on a lower road. Employee #1 was tossed from the driver's seat and onto the tractor's left track. The tractor was now moving in reverse. The tractor backed up over Employee #1, crushing him to death. There were no eyewitnesses to the accident.
