May 12, 2025 AL · Metal/Non-Metal rotary bucket excavator operator MACHINERY
Little River Materials · Struck against a moving object

An employee was relocating an excavator and chose to track it down an approximately 8-foot-high wall with a 10-degree slope. Due to recent rainfall, the soft ground caused the excavator to slide and tip onto its side at the bottom. The employee self-extricated and reported the incident.
