Fatalities at this mine

1 recorded
August 4, 2022 AR · Metal/Non-Metal mine manager, mine foreman, mine owner Fatality · MACHINERY
Wooten Sand & Gravel, Inc. · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

Employee was servicing a dozer alone with the machine running & it was somehow put in gear & started moving. Before the employee could get out of the way the machine trapped employee's foot & started pulling employee in between the track & the cab, which led to employee being run over by the machine. This is our best guess as there were no actual witnesses to the event.
