October 24, 2025 ME · Metal/Non-Metal rotary bucket excavator operator POWERED HAULAGE
K R Youland & Son LLC · Struck by powered moving object

Excavator Operator got out of the machine, went down to stock pile coming off the conveyor of a screen to check material they were screening. The Loader Operator went into stock pile not seeing the man and started to take a bucket out and hit the man on the ground. I believe sun caused blindness.
