Dave Clinard Truck Service Inc · Struck against a moving object

Victim was clearing brush with the excavator near pond and the bank appears to have given away causing the excavator to fall into the water and become totally submerged. It is not known if victim drowned or was fatally injured in the accident. We are uncertain of the exact time of the accident. The accident occurred between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
