Investigation Summary
On March 8, 2018, an employee was installing a french drain on an undeveloped residential lot. The employee stepped into the trench with a shovel to level out a layer of gravel above a perforated pipe. As the employee was stepping out of the trench, a side wall collapsed. The cave-in material struck the employee on his lower body, pinning him against an opposite wall. The area where the employee was working was approximately 4-feet deep and 24-inches width. The employee was transported to Mission Hospital (Asheville, North Carolina) with life-threatening injuries and the employee died 4 days later.
