Incident on May 8, 2015 (fatal): Employee is crushed by retaining wall collapsing into trench

At 1:40 p.m. on May 8, 2015, an employee was placing 3 inch PVC conduit in an excavated trench. The excavation exposed one side of a retaining wall and its footing, which ran parallel to the trench. A 4 X 6 inch wooden board was placed in under the exposed footing and wedged up against the opposite embankment to support the retaining wall from collapsing. The employee removed the wooden support and the wall collapsed into the trench, pinning the employee against the adjacent trench wall. The employee suffered fatal blunt force trauma injuries to the chest and minor abrasions to the head.
