April 26, 2018 FL · Metal/Non-Metal rotary bucket excavator operator MACHINERY
Outlaw Ridge Inc · Struck against a moving object

Site inspection on 4/27/18 showed 3" of slightly loose soil conditions under the left track. The right track had solid ground conditions. The excavator was removed from the lake on 4/28/18. Inspection of the excavator showed the bucket to be 3/4 full of shot rock and curled almost up beneath and between the tracks. It appears the operator undermined self.
