Incident on Oct 22, 2024 (fatal): Employee dies from multiple trauma when struck by wheel load
At 11:54 a.m. on October 22, 2024, an employee working as a laborer for a solid waste collection company was directing incoming and outgoing of trucks at a waste transfer station. While directing traffic, the employee had his back to a Caterpillar 960m Wheel loader. The coworker operating the loader finished pushing the trash he was moving and reversed the loader to create a space as the trucks were arriving to unload their waste. As the coworker continued in reverse at a higher pace, the employee was struck by the loader. The employee died from crush injuries to his chest, abdomen and torso.
