Investigation Summary
At 1:04 p.m. on June 23, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing a septic pit in the front yard of a two-story duplex under construction. The coworker was using a John Deere loader-backhoe to dig the excavation, which varied in depth from 15 ft to 20 ft. Employee #1 was working inside the excavation when the walls caved in on him. It took over 80 rescuers about 8 hours to free him. Employee #1 sustained multiple injuries and was hospitalized for over one week. When the Fire Department arrived on the scene, the loader-backhoe was still extended into the hole. None of the excavation walls has been shored or otherwise protected from collapsing inward.
