Investigation Summary
On July 30, 2013, Employee #1 was operating a DitchWitch SK350 rubber tracked Skid Steer with a loader bucket attachment to grade dirt underneath a bridge. As the loaded bucket was raised and the skid steer was in motion, the front end of the skid steer tipped forward and the back end went up. Employee #1 was standing on the skid steer's stand-on platform and had approximately 4.67 ft of space to stand upright. He became pinned between the controls panel on the skidder and the bridge when the skid steers back end lifted. Employee #1 sustained traumatic crushing injuries and died.
