Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on April 24, 2024, Employee #1 was operating an excavator when he pulled over and exited the equipment. The employee failed to lower the swing handle before exiting, causing the chain attached to his billfold to become caught on the swing handle. This resulted in the swing handle moving and pinning the employee between a tree and the handle. The employee suffered possible head and neck injuries and was airlifted to a hospital, where he ultimately died from his injuries. The hospital's location is currently unknown.
